## Summary

The procurement process initiated by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) involves the annual subscription to the IEEE Electronic Library, a service under the industry category of subscription services. The contract was awarded directly without competition, as it was below the threshold. The process has reached the contract award stage, with the contract for the Electronic Library subscription having been signed and active from 10 November 2025 to 10 November 2026. The buyer, UKRI, is a central government public authority located in Swindon, Wiltshire, UK, while the supplier, Content Online AB, is based in Stockholm, Sweden. The total contract value is $53,622 USD, with a net amount of $44,685 USD.

This procurement provides opportunities for growth for businesses involved in academic resources, digital libraries, and electronic database services. While the current contract was awarded via a direct procurement method, businesses capable of offering competitive subscription or technological services could position themselves for future opportunities by networking with organisations like UKRI. Companies with the capability to offer specialized database access or digital solutions matching IEEE standards would benefit from engaging in similar tenders. Large-scale enterprises, especially those with a focus on academic and research institutions, would be well-suited to compete in such projects.
