Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow initiated a procurement process for the "PURCH2347 Provision of Contract Agreement for English-to-English Transcription for Research," located in the Glasgow region (UKM82). The process employs an open procedure, targeting the services sector within the education category. Initially, the tender stage commenced on 13 January 2025, with a submission deadline set for 13 February 2025 at 12:00 PM. However, during the procurement's award stage, dated 28 August 2025, the tender status was marked as cancelled and unsuccessful, with related awards discontinued.

This tender presented opportunities for businesses specialising in transcription services to engage with academia, potentially facilitating growth through a long-term contract of up to six years. Firms capable of delivering high-quality transcription for research, particularly those experienced with academic or qualitative research work, would have been well-suited to compete. The process stipulated robust public liability insurance requirements and allowed for electronic submissions, which could streamline operations for technologically adept businesses. Despite the cancellation, such tenders could provide vital experience in handling large-scale projects, fostering development and innovation opportunities for SMEs with expertise in similar fields.
