## Summary

Jisc Services Limited is procuring subscription access for its member institutions to American Mathematical Society resources: the MathSciNet mathematical literature database, journal titles and eBook collections. The arrangement is intended to give eligible members preferential subscription rates and is for member use rather than Jisc’s own operations. This is a services procurement covering database access, software and information systems, periodicals, subscription services, and related education and training services. Delivery applies across the United Kingdom. The purchasing route can be used by higher and further education institutions, research organisations, education institutes, specialist colleges, multi-academy trusts, consortia and other bodies supporting higher or further education or research in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

The procurement is complete and was made by direct award because the American Mathematical Society is the intellectual-property rightsholder and sole supplier of this unique resource. The contract was awarded to the American Mathematical Society on 16 September 2026 for USD 1,655,372 gross. The contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029. A standstill period ends on 25 September 2026, with signature scheduled by 26 September 2026. There is one completed lot, marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The arrangement uses an open framework, and the award is above the applicable threshold. The evaluation basis is the supplier’s exclusive intellectual-property rights and unique supply position rather than a competitive price or quality assessment.

This requirement is most relevant to specialist scholarly publishers, mathematical societies, academic database providers and information suppliers with the rights, infrastructure and licensing capability to deliver curated mathematical research content. A credible future competitor would need access to substantial peer-reviewed journal and eBook collections, a searchable mathematical literature database comparable with MathSciNet, reliable digital subscription and authentication systems, and the ability to serve multiple education and research organisations through a consortium purchasing model. Experience supporting higher and further education libraries, research councils and related institutions would be important, as would the capacity to manage institution-wide access across the UK and offer preferential consortium rates. Control of, or authorised rights to, the relevant content would be central to competing for this specific requirement.

## Notice
