## Summary

The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology bought bibliometric data and research impact analytics services. The data and analysis support official statistics, policy analysis and research intelligence. This is a data services requirement for central government, associated with the Department in London. The procurement was organised as a single lot and awarded to Elsevier B.V. The requirement centres on supplying research-related data and analytical services for the Department’s statistical and policy work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Elsevier B.V. through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2027. Its value is £43,303.99 excluding VAT (£51,964.79 including VAT). The process comprised one lot, covering the bibliometric data and research impact analytics requirement. The award is active, and the contract is active. No award evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

For suppliers considering similar work for the Department, this award indicates demand for bibliometric data and research impact analytics to underpin official statistics, policy analysis and research intelligence. A credible competitor would need to provide relevant research data and analytical services suitable for government statistical and policy use. The selected supplier was Elsevier B.V., a large provider, and the route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition. Suppliers would therefore need to demonstrate a strong fit with this specific requirement and the capacity to deliver data and analytics as an integrated service. The contract’s one-year term gives a sense of the scale of this particular requirement; future opportunities would depend on the Department’s subsequent procurement decisions.
