## Summary

The University of Bristol has completed the procurement process for "Access to Knovel 2025", a subscription service to Elsevier's Knovel platform facilitated via JISC. This process falls under the industry category of subscription services and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process, carried out through a selective method involving a call-off from a framework agreement, encompassed key dates including the tender period ending on 10th September 2024, and the contract period set from 1st October 2024 to 31st July 2025. The contract was awarded on 11th September 2024, with a total value of £32,888. This award process is currently active.

Businesses specialising in subscription services, particularly those with experience or capabilities to support educational institutions, can find growth opportunities in such procurements. Given the involvement of Jisc Services Limited as the supplier, this tender may appeal especially to large-scale service providers familiar with delivering comprehensive subscription platforms. The University of Bristol's established procurement office and its continuous investment in advanced digital resources provide a stable and potentially recurrent business opportunity for well-suited enterprises. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), however, may find this tender less accommodating given the specified suitability criteria.
