## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, has completed the procurement process for upgrading its existing Nordplan shelving system to the Bruynzeel Dynamic II shelving system. The procurement falls under the industry category of library automation equipment and was conducted using a limited procurement method, justified by the absence of competition due to technical reasons. Key dates include the official contract award notice published on 12 February 2026 and the contract signing date on 22 January 2026, with Bruynzeel Storage Systems Ltd, based in Burgess Hill, identified as the supplier. The project involves hardware and software upgrades to enhance the functionality and future-proof the shelving system, ensuring improved reliability and longevity.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses related to library equipment and automation technologies. Due to the proprietary nature of the Bruynzeel system, the process was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, highlighting opportunities for businesses specialising in niche tech solutions or product-specific expertise. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in the field of electronic library shelving systems might find strategic partnership potential with Bruynzeel Storage Systems Ltd, as the procurement relies heavily on the technical specifications that only they provide. This scenario underscores a potential market for businesses with capabilities for bespoke technological solutions in the education sector within Scotland.
