## Summary

The procurement process for the "SciVal Extension" contract was conducted by the University of Sussex, a public body based in Brighton, United Kingdom, and focusses on extending an industry-specific software package. Designated under the industry category of goods, this procurement method was identified as 'limited', occurring without prior publication of a call for competition due to its scope. The process has been completed, with Elsevier B.V. selected as the supplier. The contract, valued at £54,350.99, was officially awarded on 31st October 2025. Although the procurement stage has moved to the award phase, it's notable that one lot within the tender was cancelled.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses dealing with specialised software solutions, particularly those with experience in providing services to educational institutions. While the contract with Elsevier B.V. has concluded, competitors in the software industry should monitor similar opportunities from the University of Sussex. Companies adept in offering bespoke educational technology solutions could be well-positioned to benefit from future tenders, as the demand for specialized academic software remains robust. This lays a fertile ground for SMEs and large enterprises specializing in software development and consulting services aimed at the educational sector.
