## Summary

The procurement process for the "SciVal and Scopus Renewal" tender has been completed by UK Shared Business Services Limited, focusing on the software package and information systems industry. The contract, valued at £79,210.66, was awarded on 29th November 2019, following a direct procurement method through a single tender action due to the need for a subscription renewal with the original supplier, Elsevier B.V. The contract period spans from 1st December 2019 to 30th November 2020, with all activities centred in Swindon, England.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those with experience in information systems and subscription-based services. Suppliers capable of providing seamlessly integrated technical support and upgrades, especially those with SME status, would be well-positioned to compete in future similar tenders within this domain. Such contracts often favour established relationships with buyers, emphasising the importance of proven reliability and compatibility in ongoing software services.

## Notice

This is for the supply of a subscription to the SciVal and Scopus Software for the period of 1st December 2019 - 30th November 2020. This requirement was sourced via single source action against regulation 32, (5), (b) - for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance.
