Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by the University of Glasgow, which has completed the contract titled "PURCH2910 – PPE1004397 Direct Award for the Provision of Intraoral Scanners for Digital Delivery to Dental Student Undergraduate Programme". This contract falls under the education industry category, specifically within the healthcare equipment sector, and will be delivered in the Glasgow region (UKM82). The procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded on 24th March 2026. This direct award was executed through a limited procurement method without a prior call for competition, justified by technical reasons under the Regulations 2015-33 (1) (b) (ii). The contract is currently active and valued at £146,000.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and dental equipment industry, particularly those capable of providing innovative digital delivery solutions for educational purposes. Despite being a direct award, it illustrates the potential scope of contracts available for suppliers who are able to provide unique technological solutions that might not have readily available competitive alternatives. Large-scale companies like Align Technology Switzerland, which was the successful supplier in this instance, are ideal candidates for such tenders, but it also highlights opportunities for other providers in niche technological areas to innovate and potentially collaborate with institutions like the University of Glasgow in future procurement opportunities.
