## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, a body governed by public law and located in Glasgow, has completed a procurement process for the "Provision of Safety and Security Platform". The process, initiated as a tender, falls under the industry category of software packages and information systems. The procurement aimed to implement a safety and security platform to enhance emergency communications, lone worker protection, and incident management. This contract, valued at £189,000, was awarded to CriticalArc Limited on 4th August 2026. The platform is set to be delivered in the UKM82 region, adhering to a procurement process without prior publication, known as a limited method of procurement. This approach was justified by its exclusion from certain directive scopes and was conducted as a call-off from G-Cloud 14.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those focusing on safety, security, and communication technologies. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like CriticalArc Limited, which won the contract, can leverage such opportunities to establish or expand their presence in the public sector. The tender's emphasis on both technology-driven solutions and supportive services makes it an ideal opening for companies aiming to provide innovative software systems tailored to emergency response and personnel welfare, especially in educational institutions. The procurement's reliance on the G-Cloud framework could also open up avenues for businesses with existing frameworks or looking to engage in collaborative contracts without the need for extensive competitive bidding processes.
