## Summary

Robert Gordon University, a large educational establishment located in Aberdeen, has completed the procurement process for its "Back up systems" project. The tender aimed to enhance the university's backup and recovery systems amidst evolving security demands. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure under the National Framework for Technology Peripherals and Infrastructure. This process progressed through the award stage, culminating in a contract signed on 27th January 2026 with Computacenter as the chosen supplier. The project concerns goods in the technology sector, specifically within the education industry, and the intended delivery location is Aberdeen, UKM50. The contract has a value of £278,000 and includes an option to extend for an additional 24 months.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specializing in technology infrastructure, data protection, and backup solutions. Companies capable of providing cutting-edge technologies aligned with the demanding security standards can find growth potential by engaging in similar projects. The tender's open procedure reflects a robust avenue for new entrants to compete. While Computacenter was the sole bidder, other large-scale suppliers with capacity in peripheral and infrastructure solutions can position themselves competitively for future procurements with educational and public sector organisations such as Robert Gordon University.
