Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow has completed the procurement for the provision of Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) Needs Assessments through a competitive procedure with negotiation. The contract, valued at £110,000, was awarded to Access2learn. The framework agreement seeks to enhance the support provided to disabled students funded by the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) across the education industry category. The procurement was centred in Glasgow, with a legal framework supported by Regulation 30 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and CELEX 32014L0024. The procurement process included electronic submission of proposals, ensuring efficient and transparent evaluation while aligning with the University’s disability equality goals.

This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those offering consultancy in disability support and adaptive technology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could leverage the framework to expand their services in the public sector by responding to the demand for comprehensive needs assessments for disabled students. Firms committed to employing community benefits—such as upskilling the workforce and promoting equality and diversity—will find that their aligned values with the University of Glasgow enhance their competitive edge. The initiative encourages partnerships with SMEs and third-sector organisations, fostering growth through subcontracting opportunities and supply chain development.
