Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described is a direct award conducted by the University of Glasgow for the provision of LSEG Workspace, valued at £167,352. This falls under the education industry category and pertains to services that are considered exclusive due to technical reasons, as outlined in Regulations 2015-33 (1) (b) (ii). The process employs a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contracting location is Glasgow, UKM82, with the contract being signed on 9th April 2026, and the process is in the award and contract stage as of 16th April 2026.

This tender presents business growth opportunities primarily for large-scale suppliers with technical proficiency in providing specialised services that lack competitive alternatives. Companies such as Refinitiv Ltd, a large supplier who has been awarded this contract, are well-suited to these types of opportunities which allow them to leverage their unique capabilities. The nature of this direct award suggests that businesses capable of offering exclusive technical solutions or services in niche markets can thrive by procuring contracts under such procurement policies.
