## Summary

The University of South Wales has completed a selective purchasing process under framework to acquire services via a Read and Publish License Agreement with JISC for Wiley Read and Publish Open Access from 2026 to 2028. The procurement falls under the education and training services category and adheres to Welsh devolved regulations. The procurement, classified as a sub-central government activity, was initiated as a tender and has reached the award stage with a contract value of approximately £388,447.50 GBP extending from 27 March 2026 to the end of December 2028. This procurement takes place in various regions within the United Kingdom, particularly focusing on regions like Pontypridd and Cardiff.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for large-scale service providers specialising in academic support and open access publishing. Businesses capable of delivering comprehensive educational resources and online library services would benefit especially. The engagement allows such companies to strengthen their presence in academic and educational service sectors in the UK, particularly under Welsh regulations, and to partner with established institutions like the University of South Wales for long-term contract benefits. While the contract has been awarded to JISC, similar organisations can prepare to engage in future opportunities as the three-year service term progresses.
