## Summary

The procurement process led by the University of Glasgow, a public law body focused on education, involved a direct award for the provision of student cards. The contracting took place in Glasgow, within the United Kingdom, under the industry category of goods, specifically ID cards. This process has been completed as of July 28, 2025, with the award being signed on July 22, 2025. The procurement was conducted via a limited method, characterised by the absence of prior publication due to technical reasons, as stipulated by Regulations 2015-33 (1) (b) (ii).

This tender offers insights into opportunities for businesses specialising in the production and delivery of personalised ID goods. Companies with expertise in technical solutions for identification systems and the capabilities to meet specific educational requirements would be well-positioned to engage in such opportunities. The direct award was given to Bemrose Booth Paragon, a UK-based SME, indicating a favourable environment for small and medium-sized enterprises with a niche in specialised production, technical skills, and local delivery capabilities. This opportunity highlights the prospect of growth for SMEs capitalising on direct awards where competition is limited by technical specifications.
