The University of Edinburgh required a supplier to deliver against its comprehensive need of a large research-intensive institution, therefore the route for NCA was followed due to the limitation within the market. Elsevier BV is the sole producer of the SciVal database which is a research analytics tool and enables institutions to assess their research performance from a variety of perspectives, this is what the University of Edinburgh requires.

Procurement Information

A tender shall be considered not to be suitable where it is irrelevant to the contract, being manifestly incapable, without substantial changes, of meeting the University's needs and requirements as specified in the procurement documents.
