## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the University of South Wales, a public authority under Welsh devolved regulations, involves the award of a contract titled "Sage Journals Read and Publish 2026-2028 via Jisc LSM." This falls within the education and training services industry category and covers locations in Wales, specifically UKL22, UKL21, and UKL15 regions. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract having been signed on 31st March 2026, and the status of contract award is active from the same date. The agreement spans a period ending on 31st December 2028. The procurement method used is selective, operating under a framework agreement, which indicates a non-competitive process. JISC, located in Bristol, is the supplier chosen to deliver services under this contract, valued at £354,577.81 gross.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the education and training services sector, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive access to research data and publications. Although the process employs a selective procurement method, suppliers with established frameworks or those adept at collaborative agreements under similar setups might find growth opportunities through partnerships with educational institutions, like the University of South Wales. Large-scale service providers with the capacity to meet above-threshold contracts would be well-suited to competing for similar future opportunities in this domain.
