## Summary

The procurement process under discussion was initiated by the University of Glasgow, which acted as the buying organisation. The tender, identified as "PURCH2943 - PPE1004562", involved the direct award of a contract for the provision of teaching equipment for Keystone. This falls under the education industry category and is located in Glasgow, UK. The procurement stage for this process is notably complete, with the contract having been awarded on 22 April 2026. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure, justified by technical reasons under Regulations 2015-33 (1) (b) (ii), allowing the award of the contract without prior publication of a competitive call. The contract, valued at £121,500, was signed with Armfield Ltd as the supplier.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational goods and equipment as it is targeted at providing teaching equipment solutions. Businesses that can offer technical know-how or unique products that align with specific educational needs and legal justifications have the potential to benefit from similar tenders. Additionally, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like Armfield Ltd, which was the successful supplier in this instance, are well-positioned to compete, particularly in scenarios where specific technical requirements render competition limited, thereby aligning with direct award opportunities. Such contracts can be pivotal for business growth within the education sector, especially for companies capable of meeting stringent regulatory and technical standards.
