Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by the University of Glasgow's Procurement Office, located at Tay House, Glasgow. It involved a direct award for the provision of Lunaphore Comet Consumable Commitment, related to the education sector. The contract, identified as PURCH2806 – PPE1003867, was completed with an award date of 23rd September 2025. This process followed a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by technical reasons under the Regulations 2015-33. The main category for this procurement was goods, with a contract value of £248,640 GBP, officially signed on 22nd September 2025.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in educational supplies, particularly consumable commitments within technical disciplines. Companies like Lunaphore Technologies SA, an SME from Tolochenaz, Switzerland, were well-suited to compete due to their alignment with the technical specifications required by the University of Glasgow. This type of procurement is advantageous for SMEs that offer unique or specialised products, where competition is limited due to technical exclusivity. Business growth can be spurred by securing such contracts, which not only offer direct financial benefits but also bolster reputation and industry credibility within the UK and beyond.
