## Summary

The University of Aberdeen has completed a procurement process for a "Timetabling Software" under an open procedure, with the status of the contract now marked as "complete". The procurement falls under the "Education" industry category, specifically classified under CPV code 48000000 (software package and information systems). This procurement took place in Aberdeen, within the region UKM50, and was officially awarded on 3rd October 2025. This contract aims to provide software for managing timetables for all taught courses and ad-hoc room bookings within the university. The total contract value is £278,825 and was awarded to Advanced Business Software & Solutions Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Datchet, UK.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in providing advanced software solutions, particularly those specialising in educational technologies. Suppliers that can deliver efficient, scalable, and customisable software would have been well-suited for this tender. Companies looking to expand into the education sector or establish themselves as reliable providers of institutional software will find similar contracts valuable for business growth. With the procurement being open and international bids accepted—although only one non-EU electronic bid was received—businesses can see potential in accessing such opportunities within the region through competitive tenders.
