Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council procured the supply and installation of Random Access Memory (RAM) upgrades for its ICT infrastructure. The requirement also covered configuration and testing, so it involved both hardware supply and technical implementation rather than supply alone. The work was for ICT infrastructure serving Glasgow City and was managed by Glasgow City Council. The procurement falls within the goods category and is classified under CPV 30200000 for computer equipment and supplies. It was structured as a single requirement covering the RAM upgrade service. The council’s stated purpose was to upgrade its education-related ICT infrastructure, making this relevant to technology product suppliers and IT infrastructure contractors able to combine equipment provision with installation, configuration and testing.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a direct award from the Government Commercial Agency’s Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, TePAS2, Lot 2. The published tender data also describes the route as an open procedure. XMA Limited was selected as supplier for the single lot. The contract value is £201,000. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and is recorded as active. One electronic bid was recorded, with no bids from SMEs. The award covered the supply, installation, configuration and testing of RAM upgrades to ICT infrastructure. The requirement was evaluated through the framework direct-award route rather than a multi-supplier competition for this procurement.

This procurement indicates demand from Glasgow City Council for a supplier capable of delivering a complete RAM upgrade, including compatible hardware, installation, configuration and testing across ICT infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in computer equipment supply and infrastructure upgrades, with the capacity to manage the technical work through to testing and handover. Familiarity with public-sector technology purchasing and the Government Commercial Agency’s Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework would be commercially relevant, because this requirement was placed through that framework route. The successful supplier was a large technology business, while the recorded bid activity shows that SME participation was not represented in this award. Suppliers should therefore assess framework access, delivery capacity and their ability to provide an integrated hardware-and-services solution.
