Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the contract designated as "Glass" revolves around the University of Edinburgh, which serves as the buying organisation. The contract involves the supply and installation of a Glass Furnace and associated equipment for the Hot Works facilities at the Edinburgh College of Art. Operating under the industry category of education, this procurement is situated in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement method selected was limited, executed without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the specialised nature of the equipment required. The tender process has reached the award stage, with key dates including the contract signing on 17 December 2024, and it is currently in an active status.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for specialised suppliers in the glass furnace industry. Given that the procurement was based on technical requirements that could only be met by a specific supplier, businesses with expertise in niche, high-quality educational equipment stand to benefit substantially. This contract was awarded to Interpower Induction Ltd, indicating a promising avenue for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with similar capabilities to engage in future contracts of this nature.
