## Summary

The procurement process, led by Scottish Enterprise, concerned the "Scottish Cluster Scheme: Robotics and Autonomous Systems" and was situated in Scotland, particularly focusing on the development of a robotics and autonomous systems cluster across the region. The procurement followed an open procedure and initially reached the tender stage in August 2025, with the submission deadline on the 29th of that month and the awarding process commencing right after. This initiative, in the economic affairs sector, has now reached the award stage, with The National Robotarium securing the contract worth GBP 76,000 on 25th September 2025 for the provision of services under this scheme. This procedure is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), adhering to both international and local procurement regulations.

This tender allows for opportunities to engage with a leading authority in economic and technological development in Scotland, fostering long-term innovation and collaboration. Businesses with expertise in sustainable and resilient supply chain management, as well as those with strong environmental measures, stand to gain as this contract emphasizes the importance of climate change awareness and impact reduction plans.
