Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen has awarded a contract for the provision of a deep learning server following a mini-competition against the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM3733 – Lot 1. This procurement process, classified under the goods category, is based in Aberdeen, UK. The contract was signed on 3rd February 2020, and the process utilised an open procurement method. The tender was previously in the planning stage and involved three electronic bids, all of which came from foreign suppliers outside the EU, with no bids received from SMEs.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for large technology firms and service providers specialising in hardware and IT solutions to expand their business in the education sector. Companies with expertise in delivering advanced computing solutions, particularly those experienced in working with public institutions like universities, would be well-positioned to compete for future contracts emerging from similar frameworks. Engaging with large public sector projects can enhance visibility and credibility while potentially leading to collaborative partnerships with established entities in the market.
