Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Trinity University procured books, e-books, e-textbooks and associated library-related services as goods. The requirement covers printed books, brochures and leaflets, alongside electronic book content and supporting services supplied through the university’s library purchasing arrangements. Delivery is to Leeds Trinity University in Leeds, England. The procurement was for the university’s own use, with the requirement aligned to academic and educational materials rather than general publishing or unrelated information technology services. Businesses specialising in supplying printed academic books, digital academic content, e-textbooks or combined library supply services would find the subject matter relevant. The recorded classification is CPV 22100000 for printed books, brochures and leaflets.

This procurement has been awarded and the process is complete. Leeds Trinity University used a selective call-off from the SUPC awarded framework for Books, e-books, e-textbooks and associated services (LIB4061 SU). The tender period ended on 19 July 2026. ProQuest LLC was awarded the contract on 20 July 2026 for £30,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although the selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation. This was a single goods requirement rather than a multi-lot award.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined demand from Leeds Trinity University for a mixed supply of printed and electronic academic reading materials, placed through an established sector framework. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need reliable access to printed books, e-books and e-textbooks, with the operational capability to manage orders and provide associated library supply services. Experience serving universities or comparable academic libraries would help demonstrate understanding of scholarly content, digital access and fulfilment needs. Suppliers should also be able to operate effectively through a framework call-off route and support the university’s requirement across both physical and electronic formats, rather than offering only a single-content channel.
