Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow commissioned a commercial champion service for the Scottish Enterprise High Growth Spin Out Company Creation Project. The work is intended to support the creation of high-growth spin-out companies. The service is classified as business and management consultancy (CPV 73220000). Delivery is in Glasgow. The requirement was procured as one lot.

The procurement is complete and Tacit Fusion Limited was selected. The contract is active and was signed on 8 October 2026, for £50,000. The stated maximum contract length is 12 months. The University used a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, citing technical reasons under the procurement regulations. The recorded justification was that the services could be provided only by a particular supplier because of a lack of competition for technical reasons. One bid was recorded, from an SME. No separate award date is stated.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from the University of Glasgow, this award shows demand for a commercial champion to support the creation of high-growth spin-out companies through the Scottish Enterprise project. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the relevant technical capability to provide this specific service, as the University cited technical reasons and a lack of competition when selecting a particular supplier. The recorded process attracted one bid, which came from an SME. No other supplier qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or experience requirements are stated, so the award does not establish further formal conditions for competing.
