Summary of the contracting process

Robert Gordon University, based in Aberdeen, has completed the awarding stage of its procurement process for "Professional Technology Interim Services." The procurement, aimed at acquiring ResourceLink Consultancy Services, falls under the education sector. Conducted without prior publication, it was managed through a limited award procedure due to a lack of shortlisting options. This contract is tied to the G Cloud 14 framework with a Crown Commercial Project ID of 68704. The contract was signed on 20 March 2026 with Real Staffing, trading under Sthree PLC, acting as the supplier. The procurement addresses services within Aberdeen (region UKM5), with a total value of £55,000.

This opportunity can foster business growth particularly for companies specialising in consultancy services related to IT and technology, as it reflects the need for professional interim solutions within the educational sector. Larger firms, especially those with relevant CPV classifications such as 72200000 and 79414000, are well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes given the scale and nature of the services required. The awarded procurement presents a strategic point of entry into partnership opportunities with educational institutions in the UK, promising potential benefits through collaboration and expertise provision in digital consultancy services.
