## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured access to the Elsevier Reaxys Academic Edition for research and academic use, under the UKRI-6345 requirement. The procurement covers database services and library software, supporting UKRI users across the United Kingdom. The requirement was handled through Jisc and relates to the provision of an academic research information service rather than physical goods, construction or consultancy. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of specialist research databases, academic information platforms, library software packages and associated institutional access services. The buyer is UKRI, a central government public authority, with the service intended for use throughout the UK. The awarded supplier is Jisc Services Ltd, a large organisation based in Bristol.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UKRI used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one lot. Jisc Services Ltd received the award on 28 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. Its value is £68,597.38 excluding VAT and £82,316.86 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the available outcome identifies Jisc Services Ltd as the selected supplier for the complete requirement. The contract concerns database services and library software associated with the Reaxys Academic Edition.

This award is evidence that UKRI has an established requirement for specialist academic research database access delivered through an institutional information-services route. Competitors would need a credible academic or scientific content platform, reliable database hosting and user access arrangements suitable for a public research organisation. Relevant capability includes supplying library or research software, supporting authentication and institutional access, maintaining service continuity, and managing licence or subscription delivery for users across the UK. Experience serving universities, research bodies or other large knowledge-based organisations would help demonstrate fit, particularly where the service combines a specialist database with library-system functionality. Suppliers should also be able to engage with a central-government buyer and deliver a dependable, organisation-wide service at a scale comparable with UKRI’s requirement.
