## Summary

The University of Glasgow has recently concluded a procurement process for a payment solution, titled "PPE Ref 7855 Direct Award for the Provision of a Payment Solution." This procurement falls under the education category and is based in Glasgow, UK. The award was made on 5th October 2021, with an investment of £212,000. The procurement method utilised was a limited procedure, specifically an award without prior publication of a call for competition, justified on technical grounds, as it was confirmed to be the only solution compatible with the existing EPOS system.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in payment solutions, particularly those offering integration services with EPOS systems. As it was a direct award, only one supplier, Paymentsense Ltd, participated in this process, indicating potential gaps in the market that other providers could explore. Businesses that are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders would likely be those with innovative payment technologies or custom solutions that cater specifically to the needs of educational institutions and their ancillary services.
