Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen has recently completed a public procurement process for the provision of support and maintenance for Functional Accelerators, valued at £58,000. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, allowing for broad participation, although in this instance, Tribal Dynamics Ltd was awarded the contract without a competitive offer due to the unique technical specifications of the service. This award was formalised on 24th August 2021, with the procurement falling under the services category, specifically in the education sector, within Aberdeen, Scotland (UKM50).

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in support and maintenance of technical systems, particularly those with expertise in Microsoft Dynamics solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and other companies with proprietary technology capabilities may find themselves well-positioned to compete in future contracts, particularly in similar specialised service areas where competition might be limited due to unique technical requirements.

This contract has been awarded to Tribal Dynamics Ltd without seeking offers through a formal procurement procedure. Competition was absent for technical reasons.
