UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England is procuring access to Wiley Health eTextbook Collections for its education and learning activities. The requirement covers hosted and invoiced electronic textbooks in the Nursing Premium, Midwifery and Paramedic collections, including renewal and upgrade arrangements. This is a supply of digital textbooks and related hosting and invoicing services rather than physical textbook delivery. The buyer is the University of the West of England, based at its Frenchay Campus in Bristol, and the awarded supply is for use in the university’s UK operations. The requirement is associated with a library and learning-resources framework, so suppliers need to support institutional access to a defined academic content collection.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. BIBLIU LIMITED was selected for the single lot. The route was a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, as a call-off from framework LIB4061, Lot 7. The contract was signed on 10 June 2026 and runs from 11 June 2026 to 9 June 2027. Its value is £23,000 excluding VAT and £27,600 including VAT. The awarded goods are classified as textbooks, specifically Wiley Health eTextbook Collections covering Nursing Premium, Midwifery and Paramedic content. The published description identifies the arrangement as a renewal and upgrade, with hosting and invoicing provided by the supplier. The contract is active.

This award shows demand from the University of the West of England for institution-wide digital academic content in nursing, midwifery and paramedic subjects, supported by hosted access and supplier invoicing. A credible future competitor would need established relationships with relevant educational publishers, particularly Wiley, and the ability to provide licensed eTextbook collections rather than standalone titles. It would also need reliable digital hosting, user-access management and account support suitable for a university learning environment, together with accurate institutional billing and the capacity to manage renewals and upgrades. Experience supplying higher-education libraries or similar academic users would help demonstrate that the service can be maintained across multiple subject collections and cohorts.
