## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, UK, has awarded a contract for the provision of Edward Elgar eBook Collections. This tender, classified under subscription services in the CPV scheme, has reached the complete stage with the contract signed on 19th March 2026. The procurement process utilised a limited method, bypassing competition due to specific regulatory reasons, namely the protection of exclusive rights. The contract, valued at £60,944, supports the university’s faculties by enhancing the library’s existing collection in various academic fields such as Business and Management, Economics and Finance, Law, Social and Political Science.

This procurement offers growth opportunities for enterprises specialising in publishing and e-learning, particularly those providing high-quality academic resources. As the tender was awarded directly to Edward Elgar Publishing Limited, which holds large-scale operations in Cheltenham, UK, businesses with exclusive content or intellectual property rights in educational and academic sectors are well-suited to similar collaborations. This contract showcases the potential for businesses that can provide exclusive academic materials to expand their presence within educational institutions by supporting their research and learning initiatives.
