## Summary

Swansea University procured access to American Psychological Association resources through subscription services. The requirement covers APA PsycINFO and PsycArticles, providing access to psychological research information and journal content for the university and the wider higher-education context served through the Jisc Chest Agreement. Jisc Services Ltd is the named supplier and arranged the resource provision on behalf of the higher-education sector, with the underlying APA requirement awarded to APA. The procurement is categorised as services and includes subscription services and newspapers, journals, periodicals and magazines. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. This opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations supplying academic information resources, research databases, scholarly journals or related institutional subscription arrangements, particularly those able to work through higher-education purchasing frameworks or sector agreements.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Jisc Services Ltd. Swansea University used a direct award procedure described as below threshold and without competition. The award is active and covers one completed lot. The award and contract were dated 31 July 2026, and the contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £113,090.50 excluding VAT, or £135,708.60 including VAT. The contract is active and the requirement was awarded through the Jisc Chest Agreement. The stated basis is the provision of APA resources, specifically APA PsycINFO and PsycArticles subscriptions. Jisc Services Ltd awarded the underlying requirement to APA on behalf of the higher-education sector. No competitive evaluation criteria are recorded because the route was a direct award without competition.

This procurement demonstrates sustained institutional demand for specialist psychology research databases and scholarly journal subscriptions within the UK higher-education sector. A credible future competitor would need to supply, broker or manage comparable academic information resources, with reliable access to licensed content for university users and the administrative capability to support subscription-based delivery. Experience of serving universities, research organisations or sector-wide education purchasing arrangements would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also need to understand publisher licensing, entitlement management, access continuity and the practical requirements of delivering digital research resources across institutional users. The established route through Jisc Services Ltd and the Jisc Chest Agreement indicates that knowledge of higher-education procurement channels, framework arrangements and publisher relationships would be commercially important when this type of requirement is next considered.
