Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has concluded an award in the field of research and development services, specifically focusing on effective ventilation guidance to mitigate indoor airborne infection risks. The contract is directly awarded to the University of Strathclyde Department of Architecture, with no competitive tendering involved, and encompasses consultancy services aimed at improving ventilation standards aligned with UK, Scottish, and international benchmarks. Located in Livingston, Scotland, the buying organisation aims to incorporate the latest scientific evidence into regulatory frameworks. The signing date for this contract is set for 2nd December 2026, and the procurement process is currently in the award stage.

This tender offers business growth prospects for firms specialising in research and consultancy within the ventilation and infection control domain. Companies experienced in regulatory compliance and scientific research application can leverage this opportunity to enhance their industry standards and methodologies. Although the contract was awarded directly, businesses with robust capabilities in related consultancy services may find future projects within the Scottish Government’s procurement needs rewarding, especially those focusing on evidence-based practice and regulatory advancements. Additionally, partnerships with educational institutions like the University of Strathclyde could benefit suppliers seeking to expand their influence in the field.
