## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured subscription services for Clarivate Analytics. The requirement is a specialist information and research subscription supporting UKRI’s work, with the procurement described as a subscription service. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement for the buyer. The service is delivered across the United Kingdom. The awarded service falls within the business category of subscription services, relevant to providers of research, bibliographic, analytical or other specialist information platforms supplied on a subscription basis. The requirement is a single service lot and is associated with UKRI’s central-government research and innovation activities. JISC Services Limited is the appointed supplier for this subscription requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to JISC Services Limited. UK Research and Innovation used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, on the stated basis that competition was absent for technical reasons and only one supplier could provide the required service. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026. It runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £11,486.12 excluding VAT, or £13,783.34 including VAT. The requirement consists of one completed lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome is a contract details notice rather than a call for competition.

This procurement shows demand from UK Research and Innovation for a specialist subscription service rather than a one-off delivery project. A credible future competitor would need to provide a comparable research or information platform, demonstrate that it meets the buyer’s technical requirements, and support subscription-based access across the United Kingdom. The direct award rationale indicates that technical suitability and the availability of a particular supplier were decisive in this procurement. Providers should therefore be able to evidence distinctive content, functionality, data coverage or integration that cannot readily be replaced by a general information service. Experience serving central-government or research organisations would also help demonstrate understanding of UKRI’s operating environment and service expectations.
