Summary of the contracting process

Jisc, a reputable organisation based in Bristol, has entered into an agreement with the American Chemical Society, focusing on the education and training services sector. The contract, titled "American Chemical Society Agreement," allows eligible authors from Jisc members to publish their research in various ACS titles. This contract, which falls under the 'services' category, spans multiple regions including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, United Kingdom, and beyond. Covering the period from 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2026, the contract was awarded under a 'limited' procurement method, specifically negotiated without a call for competition, and it is currently in the award stage, with the award being active since 11th June 2025.

This tender offers potential opportunities for organisations involved in academic publishing and educational services, particularly those that have the capacity to facilitate or expand upon research dissemination agreements. The procurement was notably not designed for SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting that larger enterprises or those with established capabilities in similar services would be most suited to this tender. As the agreement is with a high-profile scientific society like ACS, businesses that can support or complement such high-level publishing agreements may benefit greatly from exploring similar opportunities for growth.
