## Summary

JISC, a sub-central government public authority based in Bristol, has completed the procurement process for the "AIP Read and Publish 2026-2028" contract. This procurement focuses on the education and training services industry category and is executed through a direct award process, as AIP Publishing LLC is the sole supplier with exclusive intellectual property rights. The contract has been awarded for the period from 30th January 2026 to 31st December 2028, with a gross value of USD 4,630,000. The contract supports JISC member institutions by offering access to AIP Publishing's journals at preferential rates and will benefit various educational and research organisations across the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for higher education institutions, research councils, and other educational organisations within the UK to grow through enhanced access to valuable academic resources. It allows these entities to publish open access articles, thus potentially increasing their research visibility and dissemination. As a direct award to a sole supplier, this contract may particularly favour organisations that are consortium members or those operating in the higher or further education sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities aligned to enhancing educational content distribution could find strategic value in engagements that align to similar procurement initiatives in future.
