## Summary

Coventry University procured a subscription to SciVal, a research analytics tool supplied as software and information systems. The service supports the university’s research reporting and is interoperable with its existing research information management system. The stated purpose is to maintain continuity in reporting while saving resources by avoiding additional training and the need to populate a separate organisational structure. The requirement is categorised as goods. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, for use by Coventry University. The buyer is Coventry University, based in Coventry. The selected supplier is Elsevier B.V., a large Netherlands-based software and information services business. The requirement was handled as a single procurement covering the SciVal subscription.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Elsevier B.V. under a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with an option for a further year to 31 October 2029. The awarded contract value is £143,093.12 excluding VAT, or £171,711.74 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The award covers the single requirement for the SciVal subscription. The published outcome records the supplier selection but does not set out an evaluation weighting or comparative scoring basis. This was a single-supplier award rather than a competitive multi-lot exercise.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Coventry University for a specialist research analytics subscription that integrates with an established research information management system. Suppliers competing for comparable work would need a mature analytics platform, reliable interoperability with university systems and the ability to preserve existing reporting arrangements without imposing extensive retraining or data reconfiguration. The requirement favours established providers able to support institutional research structures and deliver continuity of service rather than a standalone reporting product. Elsevier B.V.’s selection also indicates that the buyer accepted a direct route for a below-threshold, single-supplier requirement. Competitors should therefore be able to explain a distinctive product fit, integration capability and resource-saving benefits when approaching similar university requirements.

## Notice

The SciVal subscription is interoperable with the University's current research information management system and ensures continuity across reporting, and resource saving as this will not require additional training or populating with the University's organisational structure.
