Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, initiated by Coventry University, involves a contract for "JISC - Oxford University Press Journals," facilitated through a selective procurement method that is below the threshold, awarded under a framework agreement. The process has reached the award stage as of March 30, 2026. Coventry University, located at Priory Street, Coventry, served as the buying organisation, while JISC Services Ltd, based in Bristol, has been awarded the contract. The main industry category involved is services, specifically subscription services, and it encompasses a delivery region across the United Kingdom. The contract commenced on February 28, 2026, and runs until December 31, 2026, with a gross value of £61,541.91.

This tender offers substantial business opportunities for companies involved in academic and journal subscription services. Enterprises with expertise in educational or publishing services can leverage this contract to gain a foothold or expand their market presence in the higher education sector. Given the selective procurement method used, well-established businesses with a capacity to engage in framework agreements are likely best suited to compete in similar tenders, particularly those that can efficiently manage and deliver large-scale, service-oriented projects. Potential entrants can thus explore upcoming tenders from sub-central government authorities to evaluate alignment with business capabilities and objectives.
