## Summary

The City of Glasgow College has completed the procurement process for the provision of its finance system, specifically the bluQube software. This procurement falls under the Education industry category and is situated in Glasgow (UKM82). The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 29th July 2024 and a total value of £487,666 GBP. The procurement method utilised was a limited procedure, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, as it was a call-off from APUC's Finance, HR/Payroll & Associated Services Framework – Lot 2: Finance Systems (ref: ITS1056 AP). The primary contracting authority is the City of Glasgow College located at 190 Cathedral Street, Glasgow, with Rachel Park as the contact person.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in finance systems, particularly those capable of functioning within educational institutions. Given the nature of the procurement method, large scale suppliers like Symmetry Ltd, which secured this contract, are well-suited to compete. Businesses that can provide robust, reliable finance management solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing HR and payroll systems, and are familiar with the stipulations of framework agreements like APUC’s, will find similar contracting opportunities beneficial for expanding their market presence.
