## Summary

Glasgow Caledonian University is seeking to enhance its payment systems through the award of a contract for the provision of an Online E-Payment Solution. The procurement process, classified under services in the education industry, was successfully completed on 28th July 2021 with WPM Education Ltd being awarded the contract valued at £75,000. This project is part of GCU's initiative to replace its Student Information Management System with a new system, SITS Vision, set to launch in August 2022. The awarding process followed an open procedure, ensuring a transparent tendering stage.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in payment solutions and education technology to explore growth avenues within the public sector.

Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises that have previously collaborated with higher education institutions may find this market particularly accessible, fostering partnerships and expanding their portfolio within the educational landscape.
