Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Funding Council is seeking support for the "Financial Transactions Programme Support 2021-2022," aimed at allocating up to £33 million in loan funding for Scottish universities to invest in capital projects related to their strategic response to the Climate Emergency. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract having been signed on 25th August 2021.
