## Summary

The University of Strathclyde has completed a procurement process for the provision of Bloomberg Financial Trading Terminals, a contract which has been awarded without prior publication of a call for competition under the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The procurement was justified by the need for a particular supplier due to exclusive rights, with Bloomberg LP being the successful supplier. The procurement falls under the 'goods' category and focuses on financial analysis software, with delivery located at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow (region UKM82). The contract, valued at £134,374, was signed on 8th July 2026 and is intended to enhance the teaching, research, and student opportunities at the university's Department of Accounting and Finance and the wider Strathclyde Business School.

This contract offers substantial business opportunities for suppliers capable of providing highly specialised financial trading systems with exclusive features. Businesses within the financial software and data supply services industry, especially those holding unique intellectual property rights, are well positioned to benefit from such contracts. The procurement method suggests a preference for bespoke, high-value goods that fulfil specific organisational needs, indicating that innovative and large businesses like Bloomberg LP, with the capacity to offer tailored solutions, are particularly suitable for such opportunities.
