## Summary

The University of South Wales procured a subscription service providing three years’ access to the SAE Mobilus Technical Resource Platform, under the title SAE Academic Complete (Mobilus) 2026–2029. The platform provides engineering standards, technical papers and research insights to support informed decision-making and innovation across the mobility ecosystem. The requirement is for digital access and licensing rather than physical goods or construction works. Delivery covers University of South Wales activities across South Wales, including the areas associated with Pontypridd and the surrounding university locations. The buying organisation is the University of South Wales, a Welsh public authority. The service is classified as subscription services and is relevant to publishers, platform operators, standards organisations and specialist information providers serving engineering, transport or mobility research users.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One completed lot was awarded to Content Online AB. The associated contract is active and was signed on 1 August 2026. It runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The contract value is USD 50,163 gross. The procurement concerns a single three-year licence agreement for SAE Mobilus access. The published outcome identifies Content Online AB as the selected supplier. The record does not set out a competitive evaluation or scoring basis because the procedure was awarded directly without competition. This outcome indicates that the University of South Wales has committed to a defined subscription and licensing arrangement for engineering information resources over the stated contract period.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the University of South Wales for specialist, licensed engineering information rather than general library content. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this type would need rights to provide authoritative engineering standards, technical papers and research material through a reliable online platform. Credibility would depend on the depth and relevance of mobility and engineering content, clear academic access arrangements, and the ability to support research and informed technical decision-making. Relevant businesses include standards publishers, technical information platforms, research-content aggregators and licensing intermediaries with established relationships with universities. Experience supplying subscription-based digital resources to higher-education customers, maintaining dependable access and supporting users across South Wales would strengthen a competing offer when this requirement next reaches the market.
