This initiative, tagged under the goods category, targets the educational sector within the Glasgow region, specifically at the University. Detailed preliminary market engagement is being conducted to determine the structure of the agreement, potentially resulting in a framework or contractual arrangement. The publication date is set for 5th May 2026, with further notices anticipated by 25th May 2026. The process is still in its early stages, governed under legal directive 32014L0024, with an estimated total value of £400,000. This procurement process represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in the supply and delivery of gases such as hydrogen, argon, rare gases, nitrogen, and oxygen.
