## Summary

The University of Aberdeen has awarded a contract for technical support of Oracle licences, marking the completion of this procurement process in the education sector. The procurement was executed without prior publication due to the lack of competition, as Oracle is the sole provider of the required software and support services. This award took place in Aberdeen, UK, specifically in the region UKM50, with the contract signing dated 1st September 2025. The contract, valued at £114,394, falls under the services category, adhering to a limited procurement method.

This tender primarily offers business growth opportunities for large enterprises specialising in IT services, particularly those looking to collaborate or partner with entities like Oracle that have a unique positioning in the market. Businesses with capabilities in providing technical support for complex software packages, and those that operate in strategic partnerships, would be well-suited to pursue similar future opportunities, especially where single-source procurement is justified. While this particular contract involved Oracle due to technical exclusivity, it underscores an area ripe for firms capable of developing niche expertise or proprietary solutions.

## Notice

Technical support for Oracle licenses.

### Procurement Information
