## Summary

The University of Glasgow has completed a procurement process for the direct award of a Halo Software Licence under project reference PPE Ref 8271. This award falls within the education sector and is located in Glasgow, UK. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the contract signed on 26 January 2022, and was valued at £82,800.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in software development and digital pathology solutions. Companies that offer advanced quantitative tissue analysis software, particularly those with expertise in creating tailored software products, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. The successful delivery and ongoing support of such licences indicate a willingness within the public sector to invest in technology that enhances educational and healthcare capabilities.
