## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by Coventry University, located in Coventry, United Kingdom, for the renewal of the library subscription to the Taylor & Francis JISC Read & Publish agreement. This falls under the Education and training services category and was executed through a selective award under the JISC Read and Publish Framework, specifically targeting services. The procurement process reached the award stage on 21st January 2026, and the contract commenced on 30th January 2026, lasting until 30th December 2028. This procurement was non-competitive, involving INFORMA UK LIMITED, trading as Taylor & Francis Group, as the sole supplier.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for established suppliers within the education and training services industry, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive library subscription solutions under existing frameworks. Given the substantial contract value of £275,928.32 GBP and extending across a multi-year period, businesses with a proven track record in delivering high-quality educational content and services would be best suited to compete in similar future tenders. While this specific procurement was non-competitive, aligning with frameworks such as JISC can facilitate future engagement opportunities with organisations like Coventry University.
