Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, identified as PURCH2878 - PPE1004110, involves the University of Glasgow directly awarding a contract for SciVal, an analytics solution, covering the years 2026 to 2028. This contract pertains to the industry category of library services within the services procurement category. The procurement method was limited, meaning the contract was awarded without prior publication of a competitive call, justified by the unique nature of the artistic work involved, according to Regulation 2015-33 (1) (b) (i). The contracting authority, University of Glasgow, located in Glasgow, completed this procurement at the award stage on 28 January 2026, with the contract valued at £301,130.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses that provide specialised library and research analytics services, particularly those that can deliver unique solutions not readily available from other operators. With Elsevier BV successfully awarded the contract due to its distinct service provision capability, other small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in similar niches might find such procurement processes beneficial if they can offer specialised services that meet unique contract requirements. Leveraging specific expertise and innovative solutions could help businesses compete in future direct award scenarios.
