Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow has recently completed a procurement process for the purchasing of precious metals for use in nanofabrication evaporator tools, identified by the reference PURCH2578. This procurement falls under the education industry category and was located in the Glasgow region (UKM82). The process culminated in the award phase with Scotech Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Langbank, securing the contract. This open procedure had an estimated contract value of £722,111 and included a framework agreement for goods. The procurement process transitioned from tendering, active in March 2025, with submissions closing on 7th April 2025, to contract award on 22nd August 2025.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specializing in the supply of high-quality metals, particularly those experienced with nanofabrication requirements. Companies similar to Scotech Limited, potentially SMEs with experience in handling precise technical specifications, would find such tenders appealing. Participants stand to gain from long-term contracts and framework agreements facilitating business stability and growth. Aligning with community and sustainability values, as outlined by the University of Glasgow, particularly in employment, training, and supply chain development sectors, also provides participating businesses with competitive advantages and aids in fulfilling broader community benefits.
