Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow has completed a public procurement process for the contract titled "PURCH2563 Direct Award For the Provision of Microsoft Support Services." This procurement, categorised under the Education sector, was executed using an open procedure focused on services. The contract, valued at £115,500, was signed on 3rd February 2025. The tender process, initiated through ITS4042 SU Lot 4 under a Software License Reseller Agreement (SLRA), spans the Glasgow region, specifically UKM82. The buying organisation is the University of Glasgow, with procurement contact Chris Daly based in Glasgow.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software support and licensing, particularly those experienced with Microsoft products. While the direct award limits broader competition, companies like Phoenix Software, awarded the contract, demonstrate that organisations with a strong presence and capability in software services can benefit. The use of an open procedure suggests potential future opportunities for vendors who can align with the University’s specific software needs, making it advantageous for large-scale software providers to position themselves for similar future procurements.
