## Summary

The University of Glasgow has awarded a contract titled "PPE1002165 Direct Award for Museums in the Metaverse Project" to Soluis Tech. This contract falls under the education industry category and is located in Glasgow, UK (Region UKM82). The procurement process was a limited method due to technical reasons, specifically because the original supplier filed for insolvency. The contract, valued at £197,909, was signed on 17th September 2024, and the procurement stage is currently complete. Key dates include the award date on 17th September 2024, following the completion of an internal Procurement Policy Exception (PPE) Form.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in advanced technology and virtual reality services within the education sector. Companies similar to Soluis Tech, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in such niche technical areas, would find this type of contract highly beneficial for business growth. The award procedure did not involve prior publication of a call for competition, indicating the need for specialized services that few providers could offer, thus fewer competitors in this space.
