## Summary

Jisc Services Limited, based in Bristol, has awarded a contract to ProQuest LLC for the provision of RefWorks—an online research management, writing, and collaboration tool for Jisc Members. This contract, classified under Education and Training Services, spans from 5th October 2024 to 30th September 2027 and has a total value of £409,448. The procurement method used was a negotiated process without a call for competition, and the award date was 27th September 2024. The service covers delivery across the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and worldwide, including the United Kingdom.

By offering a sophisticated tool like RefWorks, this tender provides businesses specialising in educational and training services an excellent opportunity to partner with Jisc, a prominent UK organisation. Suitable businesses would ideally be those capable of supporting large-scale, sophisticated digital tools for research and citation management. Although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find participation challenging due to suitability constraints, larger firms positioned in the digital education sector stand to benefit significantly.
