Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen recently completed a procurement process for a project titled "Data Collection Survey (COVID-19)," taking place within the education sector in Aberdeen, UK. The procurement method utilised was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the extreme urgency arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The contract, which was signed on 7th May 2020, involved the collection of data from 500 members of the public weekly over a four-month period, with a total contract value of £242,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in data collection and research services, particularly those experienced in telephonic surveying and public health studies.

The funding from the Scottish Government underscores the potential for impactful projects within the public health sector, making it essential for compliant vendors to engage actively in such limited-bid opportunities.
