## Summary

Jisc Services Limited has completed the procurement process titled "SAGE Journals Read and Publish 2025," concerning education and training services under the CPV code 80000000. The tender was conducted using a limited procurement method, specifically negotiated without a call for competition. This contract, valued at £9,700,000 GBP, has been awarded to SAGE Publishing Limited, the sole supplier for this service, with the contract covering the period from 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the academic publishing and education sectors, particularly those capable of offering comprehensive subscription and publication services for academic journals. While the contract is specifically tailored for SAGE due to their unique position as rightsholders, organisations that can offer similar specialised services may benefit from understanding the procurement landscape and developing competitive, high-quality offerings. Ideal candidates for such tenders are large-scale enterprises that are established within the educational publishing industry, though it is noted that current suitability indicates a preference against SMEs and VCSEs.
