Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West Of England has completed the procurement process for the supply of journals and database systems, which were contractually awarded to Ebsco Information Services. These contracts, worth £26,000 each, commenced on 3rd August 2018 and will run until 31st July 2019. The procurement method used was a direct approach via a single tender action, as both contracts fell below the threshold for open competition. The tender period ended on 2nd August 2018, with the official award notice published on 8th October 2018. Both supplies are classified under the goods category, specifically identified by respective CPV codes for journals and database systems. The location for contract delivery is Bristol, England.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for suppliers in the publications and information services sectors, particularly those who can provide journals and database management solutions. Businesses with expertise in educational resources or software development related to database systems are well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts, especially within academic institutions looking to enhance their resource offerings. Collaborations that focus on innovation and high-quality content delivery may find fruitful avenues for growth through engagements with such public procurement activities.
