The contract, titled "American Physiological Society Journals Read, Publish & Join 2025-26", falls under the education and training services category. The procurement is for services, specifically providing unlimited read access to paywalled content and open access publishing in the American Physiological Society's 12 hybrid titles. This contract is available exclusively to Jisc members. The procurement method was limited, specifically negotiated without the publication of a contract notice due to the protection of exclusive rights. The contract was awarded on 27th September 2024, with a total value of £597,450.49. The award decision includes a standstill period as a provision for aggrieved parties to challenge the decision before finalising the contract.
