Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow has recently completed a procurement process for the provision of access to the IEEE Digital Library, classified under the education sector. This direct award, identified as PPE Ref 8180, was officially signed on 17 January 2022, with a total contract value of £95,000. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and the delivery of services is to take place in Glasgow. The process was concluded under special regulations that permitted a direct award due to the technical exclusivity of the supplier, Content Online AB, identified as the sole provider for this service in the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the educational technology and digital content sectors, to expand their service offerings. Companies that specialise in electronic resource management, digital library services, or have unique technical capabilities are well-suited to respond to future contracts of this nature. The awarded value and the direct nature of the procurement suggest a need for comprehensive proposals that highlight innovation and reliability to align with the expectations of institutions like the University of Glasgow.
