## Summary

The University of Aberdeen, a leading educational institution based in Aberdeen, has recently finalised the procurement process for a new Research Funding Opportunities Database. The procurement, classified under the supply of goods in the education industry category, was conducted through an open procedure. This process, which concluded on 2nd July 2026 with the award of the contract, involved electronic submissions and was open to bids up until 5th June 2026. Located in region UKM50, this initiative aims to enhance research funding efficiency by providing comprehensive coverage and prompt updates on funding opportunities relevant to UK academic institutions.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in software solutions for educational and research institutions. The database is expected to streamline research operations by efficiently managing funding alerts across diverse academic disciplines. Large software providers, such as the awarded company, Idox Software Ltd, would find themselves well-positioned for future collaborations, especially given the contract's potential for two additional 12-month optional extensions. Businesses equipped to offer innovative, scalable solutions that cater to the evolving needs of academic institutions will likely thrive in similar future tenders.
