Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Pearson eBooks 2025-26 for Global Online Programmes" has been initiated and completed by Edinburgh Napier University, located at Sighthill Campus in Edinburgh. The contract falls under the Education industry category and involves the delivery of eBooks across Edinburgh Napier University's campuses, including Sighthill, Merchiston, and Craiglockhart. The procurement method used was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to technical reasons of limited competition.
