The procurement process led by APUC Limited, based in Stirling, UK, is focused on the supply of "Assistive Technology Hardware, Software & Consumables" aimed at institutional use and supporting students who receive government funding. The tender, which falls under the goods category within the education industry, utilised an open procurement method and was active as of June 26, 2018, with bids being accepted until July 27, 2018. The awarded contract has a total value of £1,000,000, which was officially signed on January 7, 2019, indicating a successful completion of the tender stage.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in assistive technology products and services. Companies with capabilities in providing hardware, software, and consumables suitable for educational institutions are ideally positioned to compete. The framework agreement allows for multiple suppliers, meaning that businesses can establish long-term partnerships with public institutions across Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands, fostering not only immediate sales but also future collaborations in the education sector.
