The requirement covers the supply, delivery, installation and ongoing maintenance of the locker system, with supporting operational services. The system must handle high parcel volumes and hold at least 95 parcels at one time. The supplier will also be expected to support implementation and operation, including liaison with courier companies where applicable. Required services include an annual maintenance programme, software update management, a customer helpdesk, 24-hour call-out support and reporting on locker availability, usage, stale packages and asset management. This is primarily a goods requirement, with substantial installation, maintenance and support elements. This procurement is at the planning stage: the University has announced an intention to buy and has not yet invited tenders. It expects to use a single planned lot and an open tender procedure when the requirement reaches the market. The indicative contract period is 2027 to 2030, and the estimated value is £40,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The University may carry out further market engagement with interested suppliers. Businesses wishing to support that engagement were asked to register their interest by 12 noon on 21 September 2026. The buyer expected the next sequential procurement notice to be published on 11 November 2026. The requirement remains subject to change during planning. This will suit suppliers of commercial or institutional parcel-locker systems that can provide an end-to-end service rather than equipment alone. Relevant businesses are likely to have proven experience supplying, installing and maintaining external smart lockers in high-use environments, with systems capable of holding at least 95 parcels. Useful capabilities include remote or on-site software updating, performance and asset reporting, customer helpdesk operation, rapid fault response and continuous technical support. Suppliers should also be able to manage implementation and work constructively with courier companies. Organisations with established maintenance processes, 24-hour call-out capacity and experience supporting student accommodation, universities, residential buildings or other high-volume delivery settings should prepare to engage with the University. ## Notice This Prior Information Notice (PIN) relates to a project to establish a Contract for the Supply, Delivery, Installation & Maintenance of Smart Parcel Lockers (UOS-45048-2026). ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University of Strathclyde, ("the University") is seeking to establish a contract to support the delivery of activities outlined below.
