Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England has completed a selective procurement process for the renewal of EBSCO Journals subscriptions for the CATE, CBAL, and CHSS departments. The contract, which falls under the industry category of Database Services (CPV code 72320000) and Library, Archives, Museums, and other Cultural Services (CPV code 92500000), spans from 22 July 2024 to 31 July 2025 with an overall value of £160,000. The procurement, classified as goods, was executed via call-off from a framework agreement, targeting the delivery location in Bristol, specifically BS16 1QY. The awards were made in July 2024 with the official announcement published in August 2024.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in subscription management, particularly those providing database services and supporting academic institutions. Large-scale enterprises with established frameworks for handling multi-departmental academic subscriptions would find this tender highly relevant. As small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not deemed suitable for this tender, larger organisations like Ebsco Information Services, the awarded supplier, are best positioned to fulfil the contract requirements effectively.
