Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process has been completed by ICS on behalf of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). The contract, titled "12 Month Subscription to EBSCO Host," falls under the industry category of subscription services (CPV code 79980000) and encompasses a broad geographical scope, including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the Rest of the World. The procurement, which used a direct method through a single tender action below threshold, was concluded with the award on 24 March 2025. The contract period is from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, with a total value of £65,569 GBP.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in subscription services, particularly for those capable of providing access to specialised databases such as EBSCO Host. Large-scale suppliers, similar to EBSCO INTERNATIONAL INC., which successfully secured this contract, are well-suited to compete in this space due to the scope and requirements of the tender. While this particular tender is not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, it exemplifies the type of high-value contracts that such providers might aspire to as they grow and scale their operations. Ensuring capability to meet similar demands in diverse geographical locations can position businesses favourably for future government contracts.
