Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Jisc, a public body based in the UK, has awarded a contract to Cengage Learning (EMEA) Ltd for the provision of Gale Reference complete resources in the education and training services category. The contract, named "Cengage Gale Reference Complete Agreement 2023-2026," is valued at £1,851,780 and is set to run for three years starting from 1st August 2023. The procurement method used was an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, recognising the supplier's exclusive rights to the content, as stipulated by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender opportunity creates avenues for businesses operating in the education and training services sector to engage with Jisc and potentially supply similar resources in the future. Given the specific nature of the content and the protection of intellectual property rights, businesses with expertise in digital content provision and licensing agreements would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts. Jisc's decision to directly award the contract to Cengage Learning (EMEA) Ltd reinforces the importance of unique offerings and the role of exclusive rights in public procurement processes.
