Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen has completed a procurement process for a Copyright Licence for Higher Education, valued at £102,850. The initiative falls under the services category and adheres to an open procurement method. This contract was awarded following a sole supplier justification due to technical reasons, as detailed in the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The contract was signed on 8th January 2020 and is located in Aberdeen, UK.

This award presents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in copyright licensing and educational services to engage with public sector education initiatives. Specifically, companies that specialise in providing copyright solutions or have the capability to deliver tailored services for higher education institutions might find avenues for business growth. The nature of the contract implies that competition was limited to a specific supplier, highlighting a niche market where other similar enterprises could explore opportunities to support educational institutions.
