## Summary

The University of Glasgow bought project and portfolio management services, delivered in Glasgow. The requirement was procured as cloud support services through Lot 3 of the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement (RM1557.14). The work covers project and portfolio management rather than the supply of physical goods or construction. This is a specialist professional services opportunity for providers that can support the planning, governance, monitoring and delivery of organisational projects and portfolios in a cloud services environment. The buying organisation is a public university based in Glasgow, so suppliers serving higher education or other public-sector clients may find the requirement relevant, particularly where they provide structured project and portfolio management support alongside cloud-based service delivery.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used an open procedure and was described as a direct award call-off through the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement. One bid was received, from an SME, and the contract was awarded to Polarisoft The Anywhere Company Limited. The awarded contract value is £497,683 (GBP). The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and is recorded as active. The procurement covered one lot. The published outcome identifies the requirement and selected supplier, but does not set out a separate award date or contract end date. The opportunity was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than a new competition for multiple suppliers.

This award shows that the University of Glasgow purchases substantial project and portfolio management support through the G-Cloud cloud services route. A supplier competing for a similar requirement in future would need credible capability in project and portfolio governance, portfolio reporting, planning, assurance and delivery support, with the ability to provide those services as a cloud-based support offering. The selected supplier was an SME and submitted the sole bid, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large systems integrator. Relevant experience of supporting complex programmes, higher education or other public-sector organisations, and operating effectively under a government cloud framework would strengthen a competitor’s position when this buyer next requires comparable support.
