UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Brookes University purchased online subscriptions to APA PsycInfo and APA PsycArticles for learning, teaching and research. These psychology research databases provide resources for university users; the subscription services were ordered and invoiced through Jisc’s CHEST service. The requirement covers both APA PsycInfo and APA PsycArticles under one agreement, rather than a broader library or technology service. Delivery is online for Oxford Brookes University in Oxford, with the award classified as subscription services. The buyer is Oxford Brookes University, a public university based in Oxford. The selected provider was Jisc Services Limited, which supplied the resources through the Jisc-CHEST route.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Oxford Brookes University selected Jisc Services Limited for the single lot, using a below-threshold procedure; the method is recorded as unknown. The contract was signed on 11 October 2026 and runs from 11 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross value is £90,978. The award is active, but no separate award date or award value is provided, so the signed contract date and contract value are the available outcome details. The requirement was a three-year agreement for access to APA PsycInfo and APA PsycArticles. No evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions are stated in the procurement details.

This award shows a recurring requirement at Oxford Brookes University for online psychology research databases supporting learning, teaching and research. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to provide dependable institutional access to APA PsycInfo and APA PsycArticles, and be able to manage subscription ordering and invoicing through Jisc’s CHEST service. Credibility would rest on delivering the two named research resources as a coordinated subscription service for a university, with the operational capacity to support access over a multi-year agreement. The procurement was handled below threshold, and Jisc Services Limited was selected. This is a focused library-resource requirement rather than a general IT, publishing or academic-support contract; suppliers without the relevant database access and established subscription fulfilment arrangements are unlikely to be a close fit.
