Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has recently completed a public procurement process for the "Career Hub Software," which provides a user interface for students to access support from the Careers Service. This procurement falls under the goods category and was conducted through an open procedure. The contract, valued at £56,613 and actively in force since August 1, 2021, is associated with the procurement method of direct award under specific Scottish regulations. The software will be delivered to the University of Edinburgh located at Charles Stewart House, Edinburgh. The procurement process was initiated with the aim of transitioning from a legacy on-premises server to a cloud-based solution by July 2022.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity, especially for firms that specialise in educational software development and cloud solutions. Companies with the capability to provide seamless migration and integration of software platforms, particularly those with experience in delivering services to educational institutions, will find this sector ripe for investment and competition. As the University transitions to a more modern infrastructure, businesses that can demonstrate agility and expertise in cloud solutions are likely to be favoured in future tendering processes.
