## Summary

The University of Strathclyde procured access to the full Wiley 2026 Database Journal Collection and unrestricted publishing in Wiley journals for eligible authors. This is a subscription and scholarly publishing service supporting the university’s researchers and their ability to publish open-access work. The procurement was managed by the University of Strathclyde, based in Glasgow, with services delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement was obtained through the Jisc Wiley Read and Publish Open Access agreement, linking journal access with publishing rights rather than buying standalone library subscriptions. It is therefore relevant to academic publishers, scholarly content providers, library-resource suppliers and organisations able to provide institution-wide access and publishing arrangements for research journals.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to JISC SERVICES LIMITED. The award was made on 1 January 2026, with a contract value of £760,000 excluding VAT and £912,000 including VAT. The active contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 December 2028. It covered one lot and was awarded through a selective procedure under a framework agreement. The process was not competitive at call-off stage. The awarded service is classified as subscription services and the procurement was above the relevant threshold. The contract was signed on 1 January 2026. The buyer’s stated outcome is access to Wiley’s 2026 database journal collection and unrestricted publishing in Wiley journals for eligible authors.

This award demonstrates substantial institutional demand for bundled scholarly journal access and open-access publishing rights, rather than access to content alone. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need established relationships with academic publishers, the ability to provide reliable institution-wide database access, and systems that identify eligible authors and support unrestricted publishing in participating journals. They would also need to manage subscription entitlements and publishing workflows across a university research community, with clear controls over author eligibility and access. Experience serving higher-education libraries and research institutions would strengthen credibility. The route used here shows that suppliers seeking similar University of Strathclyde requirements should understand Jisc framework arrangements and how journal subscription and read-and-publish services are commissioned through them.
