## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, a public law entity based in Glasgow, UK, has completed its procurement process for the provision of the Fitch Solutions Database. This contract falls within the education industry and is categorised under services. The procurement stage, identified as award, concluded on 17 February 2026. The contract, valued at £50,015, was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, adhering to Regulation 6 of The Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016, which allows awarding contracts to specific operators due to intellectual property protections. The agreement with Fitch Solutions Group Limited took effect on 21 May 2024, with Glasgow Sheriff Court designated as the review body for potential grievances associated with this procurement.

Business opportunities stemming from this contract are ideally suited for organisations possessing particular exclusive rights or intellectual property in the domain of data services, especially large-scale service providers specialising in educational databases. The procurement method, having bypassed competitive bidding, emphasises the contracting authority's preference for suppliers capable of fulfilling unique requirements that ensure the protection of intellectual property. Such contracts can provide growth opportunities for companies that can leverage proprietary solutions and establish long-term collaborations with academic institutions like the University of Strathclyde, thereby enriching their portfolio and enhancing industry reputation.
