## Summary

The University of Glasgow has completed a procurement process for the provision of three mobile mesocosm units, with Clearly Aquatics awarded the contract.

The procurement method was an open procedure, categorised under "goods," with an overall contract value of £99,000. The contract was signed on 19th February 2025, following the award phase that concluded on 30th August 2024. The initial tender was active from 30th July 2024, with submissions due by 30th August 2024.

The tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs involved in specialised equipment for educational and research institutions. Clearly Aquatics, an SME, secured the contract, showcasing the potential for smaller businesses to compete and succeed in public procurement processes. Businesses with capabilities in delivering bespoke technical solutions, particularly in the education and research sectors, would be well-suited for such opportunities. Moreover, the University of Glasgow's commitment to community benefits, such as employment and training, sub-contracting to SMEs, and supporting educational initiatives, indicates a supportive environment for businesses dedicated to social impact.
