The procurement falls under the classification of goods, and the location is in Norwich, England.

This tender for a journal database subscription provides an opportunity for SMEs to engage in supplying printed matter and related products. Businesses in the academic content industry would be well-suited to compete in this tender. The University of East Anglia served as the buying organisation, and the procurement process was finalised with the award to Proquest, a large-scale supplier in this sector.

## Notice

This covers annual subscription and one off payments to license the use of journals and other academic content from Proquest not covered by Jisc and SUPC agreements. This allows online access to journals and other academic content published and curated by Proquest, so a single action tender was completed for this request.
