## Summary

The University of Aberdeen, located in Aberdeen, UK, recently completed a public procurement process for the supply, installation, and management of a High Performance Computing Cluster, with a total contract value of £592,180. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure, and the process is categorised under goods within the education sector. The final award of the contract was made to OCF plc on 9 November 2018, following the completion of the tender stage, which attracted three bids.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the technology and computing sectors, especially those specialising in high-performance computing solutions and related services. Companies that can provide innovative computational infrastructure and support, particularly those with experience in the oil and gas technology field, would be well-positioned to engage in future tenders of this nature. The collaboration with the Oil and Gas Technology Centre suggests potential for further projects aimed at enhancing industry-academic partnerships and innovation.

## Notice

The OGTC goal is to provide an industry-led, focused and flexible approach to deliver, accelerate, stimulate and inspire innovation between industry, academia and government to help maximise economic recovery from the UK sector of the North Sea. The infrastructure necessary to support this will be high quality specialist computational facilities.
