The contract, valued at £110,000, was awarded to Access2learn. The framework agreement seeks to enhance the support provided to disabled students funded by the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) across the education industry category. The procurement was centred in Glasgow, with a legal framework supported by Regulation 30 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and CELEX 32014L0024. The procurement process included electronic submission of proposals, ensuring efficient and transparent evaluation while aligning with the University’s disability equality goals. This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those offering consultancy in disability support and adaptive technology. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could leverage the framework to expand their services in the public sector by responding to the demand for comprehensive needs assessments for disabled students. Firms committed to employing community benefits—such as upskilling the workforce and promoting equality and diversity—will find that their aligned values with the University of Glasgow enhance their competitive edge. The initiative encourages partnerships with SMEs and third-sector organisations, fostering growth through subcontracting opportunities and supply chain development. ## Notice PURCH2741 Provision of a Framework for the Provision of Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) Needs Assessments ### Lot Information Lot 1 PURCH2741 Provision of a Framework for the Provision of Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) Needs Assessments Renewal: Fixed Term Period of 2 years with an extension period of 2 x 12 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR551604 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive procedure with negotiation | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | 31 Oct 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 Mar 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £110,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G12 8QQ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Hillhead | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | TLM82 Glasgow City | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ACCESS2LEARN | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 80300000 - Higher education services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services - 98200000 - Equal opportunities consultancy services - 98300000 - Miscellaneous services ## Release History - 12 Mar 2026 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR551604 - 1 Oct 2025 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT540353 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT540353&idx=1 1st October 2025 - PURCH2741 Invitation to Tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT540353&idx=2 1st October 2025 - PURCH2741 Schedule 1B - C&SRM Stakeholder Feedback Form Brief 0-5 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT540353&idx=3 1st October 2025 - PURCH2741 Schedule 1B - CODE OF CONDUCT - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT540353&idx=4 1st October 2025 - PURCH2741 Schedule 1B - KPIs - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT540353&idx=5 1st October 2025 - PURCH2741 Schedule 1C - Framework Agreement for Purchase of Services - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT540353&idx=6 1st October 2025 - PURCH2741 Schedule 1C- Non-Compliance Template - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=OCT540353&idx=7 1st October 2025 - PURCH2741 Stage 0 Schedule 1D - SPD Qualification - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT540353 PURCH2741 Provision of a Framework for the Provision of Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) Needs Assessments - PURCH2741 Provision of a Framework for the Provision of Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) Needs Assessments Tender documents available from Public Contracts Scotland.
