## Summary

The University of Aberdeen, based in Aberdeen, has recently completed a procurement process for an "InCites Analytics Subscription." This procurement, classified under the education sector, aims to measure the performance of the university's research outputs through data analysis. The contract was awarded to Clarivate Analytics (UK) Limited, headquartered in London. This particular procurement process followed a limited method due to the unique technical requirements that only Clarivate Analytics could fulfil. The contract was signed on 28th August 2024, concluding the "Award" stage of the procurement.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for specialised data analytics and performance measurement firms. The procurement, though now complete, reflects the potential for similar future opportunities in the higher education sector, especially for niche services with minimal competition. Businesses with robust analytical tools and unique technical capabilities to fulfil specialised needs would be well-suited for such tenders. The University of Aberdeen’s reliance on tailored solutions highlights the demand for high-quality, specialised services in the public sector.
