Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by the University of Glasgow, involved a direct award for the provision of GitHub licences under the framework agreement from NHS SBS Cloud Solutions 2 SBS10256 Lot 2, which covers IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services. Categorised under the education industry, the contract was awarded to Softcat Plc, a large-scale supplier, and was completed according to an open procedure. The key date to note is the signing of the contract, which was executed on 22nd September 2025. The project was situated in the Glasgow region, UK, specifically targeting services in the technology domain. This tender was marked with the procurement stage tags of "award" and "contract" and is now in active status.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT solutions, particularly those offering software as a service, to engage with higher education institutions. The arrangement, although competed through a direct award, showcases the necessity for continuous partnerships that focus on digital transformation solutions. Companies that are adept at providing scalable and secure IT infrastructure would find this type of procurement particularly beneficial for fostering relationships with academic institutions. Although this procurement was executed through an open procedure, suppliers should anticipate similar opportunities by maintaining a robust presence within public sector frameworks that cater to educational technology services.
