UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE

This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde has completed a public procurement process for the "Retention of Loan Equipment - 5-axis mill" within the education sector, located in Glasgow, UK. This procurement was initiated through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, primarily due to the existing integration of proprietary technology and significant sunk costs associated with the current supplier. The contract, valued at £175,000, was signed on 4th March 2021 and relates to a single lot dedicated to the retention of specific equipment.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large-scale machinery suppliers with experience in providing specialised equipment, particularly those familiar with complex integrations and proprietary technologies. Businesses positioned to offer similar or complementary equipment and services may find value in the established relationships with the University. Given the tailored nature of the procurement process, companies with capabilities in advanced manufacturing technologies should consider engaging in future opportunities with the University of Strathclyde.
