Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, has completed its procurement process for the "Technical Lead for Strategic Change Project" as of 15 June 2026. This procurement falls under the education category and focused on the provision of a Technical Lead on a temporary basis through an open procedure aligned with the Scottish Governments Interim IT Staff Services Framework.
