## Summary

Jisc Services Limited has engaged in a completed procurement process with The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Incorporated (IEEE) for a contract titled "IEEE IEL - Read-only plus green open access arrangement 2025-2027". Classified under the education and training services category, this contract covers a read-only subscription to the IEEE Electronic Library (IEL) with green open access provisions for subscribing members. The contract runs from 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2027 and is valued at £23,632,395.39. This procurement was conducted using a limited negotiation method without a call for competition, and is notable for its extensive geographic applicability, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in providing or supporting education and training services, particularly those specialising in engineering, technology, and related fields. While the procurement process itself was negotiated without competition, the resultant contract could encourage collaborations and partnerships, helping businesses to leverage IEEE's extensive resources and network. Organisations capable of offering supplementary services that can enhance the value provided by the IEEE Electronic Library would be especially well-suited to benefit from this arrangement. Given the nature of the procurement method, large-scale professional associations and well-established companies in the education sector may find it particularly advantageous.
