Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow is buying a research and consultancy study to assess how climate-related risks interact across critical infrastructure systems. The work concerns interdependencies between infrastructure systems, rather than the provision or construction of infrastructure itself. The study is intended to help understand how climate hazards and impacts in one system may affect others. The requirement is categorised as research and development consultancy services (CPV 73210000) and is to be delivered in Glasgow. The University of Glasgow is the buyer. The procurement is a single service requirement, covering the study described in the schedule of requirements. Bidders should consider whether they can bring the relevant research expertise and analytical capability to examine climate-related risks across connected infrastructure systems.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, using electronic submission. The tender submission deadline was 3 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening scheduled for the same time. The contract is for 360 days. One lot covers the full study. The evaluation basis is not described in the information available here. Economic selection requirements include public liability, employers’ liability and professional indemnity insurance, each with cover of at least £5 million. Suppliers must provide accounts for at least three years and demonstrate annual turnover of at least £500,000. Alternative bids are not permitted. The contract allows electronic payment and ordering, and electronic invoicing. Community benefits form part of the requirement, and bidders are asked to state what they will deliver.

This opportunity is best suited to research consultancies, universities and specialist firms with the capability to investigate climate-related risk and the connections between critical infrastructure systems. Suppliers should be able to undertake a substantial, year-long analytical study and provide clear findings relevant to the University’s requirement. Bidders need to meet the specified financial and insurance thresholds: at least three years of accounts showing annual turnover of £500,000 or more, plus £5 million cover for public liability, employers’ liability and professional indemnity. The buyer also seeks community benefits, such as employment or training opportunities, workforce development, equality and diversity initiatives, SME and third-sector subcontracting opportunities, supply-chain development, or educational support. Suppliers with credible plans to deliver relevant community benefits may be well placed to respond.
