## Summary

The University of Glasgow initiated a procurement process for the "PURCH2347 Provision of Contract Agreement for English-to-English Transcription for Research," located in the Glasgow region (UKM82). The process employs an open procedure, targeting the services sector within the education category.

However, during the procurement's award stage, dated 28 August 2025, the tender status was marked as cancelled and unsuccessful, with related awards discontinued.

This tender presented opportunities for businesses specialising in transcription services to engage with academia, potentially facilitating growth through a long-term contract of up to six years.

The process stipulated robust public liability insurance requirements and allowed for electronic submissions, which could streamline operations for technologically adept businesses.
