## Summary

The University of Aberdeen has awarded a contract for a three-year campus-wide software licence for Matlab. This procurement falls under the education category, and the software is essential for various schools within the university, particularly given the rise in blended learning methods. The procurement was conducted without a prior call for competition, as Matlab can only be supplied by The MathWorks Ltd., based in Cambridge. The contract was signed on 22nd April 2026, marking the award stage of the procurement process with goods delivery to Aberdeen, UKM50.

This contract offers significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in educational software services, especially those capable of supplying exclusive technical solutions. With The MathWorks Ltd. being the sole supplier due to the specialised nature of the software, it demonstrates the importance of developing unique and innovative products that meet precise educational needs. Large businesses that specialise in bespoke software development and maintain strong relationships with educational institutions will find this procurement avenue particularly advantageous.
