Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves an agreement between Jisc, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom, with offices in Bristol, and Clarivate Analytics (UK) Limited. The contract is titled "Clarivate Analytics 2025-30," focusing on education and training services within the academic sector. The agreement was awarded directly without competition, as Clarivate Analytics holds the exclusive intellectual property rights to the products. The procurement has reached the completion stage, with the contract commencing on 18 October 2025 and concluding on 30 September 2030. The agreement allows Jisc member institutions to subscribe to various Clarivate Analytics products, under a framework agreement, open to educational bodies across the UK regions, including England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in supplying educational and research-based digital resources. Institutions specialising in providing digital solutions for the higher and further education sectors could benefit from similar agreements by showcasing unique and proprietary offerings. As the procurement process involves a direct award due to the exclusivity of the product rights, businesses owning similar intellectual property or exclusive resources in different educational or research verticals may find opportunities to engage in comparable direct procurement processes. This particular agreement demonstrates a valuable precedent for how intellectual property rights can play a crucial role in securing contracts within the education and training sector.
