Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen has completed a procurement process titled "Data Expansion University of Aberdeen," aimed at enhancing its data capacity due to a failure in its backup system. This tender, which was awarded using an open procedure, falls under the goods category and is classified under the education sector. The procurement took place in Aberdeen, UK, with the contract valued at £70,000, signed on 9th July 2019. The award notice outlines that the requirement for this expansion could only be met by the manufacturer, indicating a technical necessity that informed the contracting decision.
