## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located at 40 George Street, Glasgow, has completed a tender for the "Provision of Workspace for Students (Software)" as part of its procurement process in the education sector. This contract, valued at £60,000, was awarded to Refinitiv Limited on 13 September 2021, following an open procedure under regulations exempting it from certain requirements of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. The procurement process has now reached the award stage, with the necessary activities for contract completion having taken place on 11 October 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of educational technology and software solutions, particularly those that can offer database packages tailored for student research. Companies with the capability to deliver high-quality software products and services are encouraged to engage with similar contracts in the future, as there appears to be a limited level of competition, evidenced by the single bid received from a non-EU foreign entity.
