## Summary

The University of Glasgow has recently completed a procurement process for the purchasing of precious metals for use in nanofabrication evaporator tools, identified by the reference PURCH2578. This procurement falls under the education industry category and was located in the Glasgow region (UKM82). The process culminated in the award phase with Scotech Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Langbank, securing the contract.

The procurement process transitioned from tendering, active in March 2025, with submissions closing on 7th April 2025, to contract award on 22nd August 2025.
