## Summary

The University of Exeter procured access to Brill Online HAC Collected Courses through a Jisc deal. This is a subscription service for online academic course collections, supplied through Jisc Services Ltd (Collections) (EUR). The requirement sits within the information and digital content services market rather than physical goods, construction or general consultancy. The buyer is the University of Exeter, based in Exeter, and the service supports its institutional learning, teaching and research activity. The selected supplier is based in Bristol. The procurement concerns one requirement covering the subscription service, rather than separate supplies or works packages. Businesses operating as academic publishers, digital content providers, library-resource suppliers, or subscription aggregation and procurement specialists would be the closest comparators for this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Jisc Services Ltd (Collections) (EUR). It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is active and covers the single requirement. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and runs from 29 July 2026 to 28 July 2027. Its value is EUR 30,812 gross. The contract is below threshold. The recorded requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the published outcome identifies Jisc Services Ltd as the selected supplier. The arrangement is therefore an awarded subscription purchase, not an open competition for alternative bids.

This procurement is useful market evidence for suppliers of specialist academic digital content and subscription-based library resources. It shows demand from the University of Exeter for access to Brill Online HAC Collected Courses and demonstrates that the buyer can procure this type of content through a recognised intermediary arrangement with Jisc. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need rights to, or an established supply route for, relevant academic course collections, reliable online access, and the operational capacity to manage institutional subscriptions. Experience serving universities, libraries or comparable research organisations would strengthen its position. Suppliers should also understand intermediary or consortium purchasing models, since the selected route involved a Jisc deal rather than a standalone competitive purchase by the university.
