## Summary

The University of Aberdeen has recently completed a procurement process for a three-year campus-wide software license for Matlab, specifically manufactured and supported by MathWorks. This procurement was classified under the goods category and was executed through an open procedure. The contract was awarded on July 10, 2020, with a total value of £142,200. Located in Aberdeen, the process is noted for its justification of awarding without competition due to the technical nature of the software as it can only be supplied by a single economic operator.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in educational software and licensing services, particularly those that are capable of providing proprietary software solutions. Companies that focus on technical software products, especially in the fields of engineering and scientific computing, would find this an advantageous contract to engage with, even though the specific license has already been awarded. Such firms could use this information to identify potential future opportunities with similar educational institutions that require exclusive software licenses.
