## Summary

In November 2025, the University of Strathclyde completed a procurement process for the provision of a Global Outbound Payment Solution designed to facilitate international transactions across multiple currencies. The contract, valued at £425,000, was awarded to Convera UK Limited, a large-scale supplier located in London. This procurement, registered under the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) code for banking services, involved an open procedure supported by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). The solution, capable of integrating with the Unit4 Business World On system, is aimed at enhancing the university's capability to manage and execute worldwide payments efficiently. The original open tender process commenced in October 2024 with initial bids due by 11 November 2024, reflecting the university's commitment to maintaining a transparent and competitive selection process.

The procurement offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in banking services, specifically those with expertise in global payment solutions and software integration. Companies with strong technical capabilities, adherence to regulatory standards, and substantial financial turnover are particularly well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The demand for solutions that can handle approximately 2,800 international transactions yearly, involving about 45 different currencies, underscores the need for providers who can offer scalability, robust integration capabilities, and reliable service management. Suppliers with experience in electronic ordering, invoicing, and payments, coupled with appropriate accreditation and liability coverage, would find this contract aligns with their service offerings and strategic expansion goals.
