## Summary

The recent procurement process for "EBSCO SO 25-26," managed by the University of the West of England, focuses on subscription services under the industry category "79980000 - Subscription services." This process is fundamentally a part of a Joint Consortia Agreement (Ref LIB4054 SU) aimed at securing serials, periodicals, and associated services. The procurement was conducted using a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. This contract award, valued at £25,000, was finalised on 10th August 2025, with the contract period scheduled between 11th and 12th August 2025. The services are intended for delivery in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large enterprises involved in subscription services, especially those capable of fulfilling framework agreements swiftly. While the contract itself emphasizes on delivering HE reference materials such as serials and periodicals, businesses specialising in managing extensive subscription deliveries and associated services would be particularly well-equipped to handle such contracts. Engaging with public sector contracts through a well-organised framework position can not only boost market presence but also build long-standing relationships with educational institutions across the UK.
