Summary of the contracting process

Jisc Services Limited has awarded a contract to Bioscientifica Limited for a Read and Publish transitional agreement covering four hybrid journals and archives, including read access and unlimited open access publishing for a fixed fee. This contract, valued at £220,000 GBP, was signed on 17 December 2024. The procurement method used was limited, with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to the protection of exclusive rights held by Bioscientifica. The framework will cater to Higher Education institutions, Further Education colleges, Research Council establishments in the UK, and other organisations connected to the Janet network, with the overarching goal to support further or higher education and research advancements.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the education and training services sector, especially those focusing on research and academic publishing. Organisations that can provide similar academic resources or have exclusive rights to such publications, similar to Bioscientifica Limited, would be well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. Involvement in this contract can boost business growth by offering enhanced visibility and expanding market presence among educational institutions and research networks across the UK and beyond.
