This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, has completed the procurement process for the Provision of Advanced Construction Documentation Services for the years 2026-2030. This contract falls under the Education industry category and was awarded on 20 February 2026. The procurement followed a limited, negotiated procedure without prior publication, in accordance with The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The selection was due to technical reasons, allowing only one capable supplier, Construction Photo Documentation Ltd T/A Multivista, to fulfil the requirements. The contract holds a value of £115,527 and work will be delivered at the University of Strathclyde's location in Glasgow (UKM82 region).

This contract presents a specialised opportunity for growth for businesses in the construction documentation field, particularly those with advanced technological capabilities and expertise in providing documentation services. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in such advanced services might excel in similar future procurement processes due to the niche technical needs specified by the University. Although this specific contract was awarded without competition due to unique requirements, monitoring announcements for similar tenders might benefit competitive SMEs in related fields. Engaging with large educational institutions can foster long-term relationships and open pathways to further contracts and projects requiring specialised skills.
