## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has recently completed a procurement process for the "Building Energy Management System Upgrade" project, categorised under the education industry. This initiative, situated at the University of Edinburgh, involves the procurement of goods, specifically upgrading the existing building energy management system software. The procurement method was limited, entailing an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, with the primary contract being awarded to Schneider Electric. The need for this upgrade arises from the obsolescence of the current Sigma system, requiring transition to Schneider's EcoStruxure system. The contract was signed on 14th October 2024, with a contract value of £10,000,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in energy management systems, building automation, and software updates.

The procurement's specialised nature underscores the importance of technical qualifications, making it ideal for large-scale enterprises with established credentials in complex system integrations.
