## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, has completed a procurement process to purchase six optical tables, specified as two measuring 3000mm x 1500mm and four measuring 2400mm x 1500mm. This falls under the education sector and the procurement method used was a limited procedure due to the unique requirements that were not met by previous notices. The contract was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition. The award notice was issued on 1st September 2025, and the contract was signed on 29th August 2025, with a total value of £72,654.37 GBP. This procurement was completed under the 'goods' category with the contract active and covered by the GPA agreements.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialised in the manufacturing of high-precision optical equipment. Companies like SMEs, particularly those who have the capability to supply custom scientific apparatus, could benefit significantly by being suppliers in such high-demand fields. Given the limited procurement method and the specific dimensions required, businesses that can offer unique or tailored solutions are particularly well-suited to compete in future contracting processes with this and similar institutions.
