Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Metacompliance software was conducted by the University of Aberdeen, a prominent entity in the education sector. This contract, under the procurement ID AU24/86, falls within the industry category of goods, specifically related to software, and was procured through an open procedure. The award stage reached completion on 26th June 2025, with the contract being signed for a total value of £62,926 GBP. The University, located in Aberdeen, sought to enhance its software capabilities via this framework agreement for Software Value Added Reseller Services (SVARS). Coverage regions include UKM5, in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specializing in software resale and IT services, particularly those experienced in handling large-scale, compliant software deployments tailored for educational institutions. Large companies, like Computacenter—already awarded the contract—are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities due to their scale and capability to meet educational software demands. Enterprises seeking to expand their portfolio within the Scottish procurement landscape could leverage such contracts to enhance their market presence. The reliance on a single bidder, a large-scale supplier, suggests competitive advantage for businesses with existing framework agreements and expertise in similar procurements.
