## Summary

Jisc, a national research and education network provider based in Bristol, UK, has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Wolters Kluwer Read and Publish 2022-24 agreement". This agreement falls under the education and training services industry, with a total contract value of approximately £7,000,000. The contract, which is now active, was awarded following a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, and it is effective for a three-year term starting from 1st January 2022. The procurement process was formalised on 27th May 2022, with all services related to this contract being provided exclusively for Jisc members rather than for Jisc's own use.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses within the education and publishing sectors, particularly those that specialise in scientific and medical research. Companies capable of producing or distributing academic content may find this contract particularly relevant, as it focuses on providing access to and publishing rights for open-access articles. The nature of the procurement, which involved a direct award due to exclusive intellectual property rights, means that competition will be limited to businesses meeting specific criteria, making it beneficial for those already aligning with Jisc’s objectives or offering unique services in the academic publishing domain.
