Summary of the contracting process

Genomics England Limited, a central government public authority based in London, procured a subscription service providing access to scientific literature through the DeepDyve platform. The requirement is for organisation-wide or user access to a specialist online literature resource, supporting scientific research and genomics-related work. The procurement covers a 12-month subscription to DeepDyve rather than the provision of research, laboratory, consultancy or publishing services. The service is associated with subscription services under CPV 79980000 and is intended for use by Genomics England in connection with its activities. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to suppliers of scientific publishing platforms, research databases, online literature subscriptions or comparable information-access services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded, with one completed lot. Genomics England selected DeepDyve Inc, a US-based SME, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is USD 18,004.96 excluding tax, or USD 21,605.95 including tax. The procedure was described as below threshold, with the detailed procurement method recorded as unknown. The award covered the subscription service for access to scientific literature. No award date is recorded separately from the signed contract information. The outcome shows a single-supplier purchase rather than a multi-lot or multi-provider arrangement.

This procurement demonstrates a defined demand for paid access to scientific literature within a genomics-focused public-sector organisation. Suppliers would need to provide a reliable online platform with substantial scientific content, suitable for professional research users and capable of supporting continued access throughout a subscription term. Credible competitors would be specialist academic publishing, research-database or literature-discovery providers, including smaller technology or information businesses able to supply a focused subscription service. The requirement is for access to an established digital resource rather than bespoke scientific delivery, so the relevant strengths are breadth and relevance of literature holdings, dependable platform operation, user access management and commercial subscription support. Experience serving research organisations or public bodies would help demonstrate suitability when this type of requirement is considered again.
