## Summary

Bath Spa University procured continued access to American Psychological Association (APA) PsycArticles journal articles and the PsycInfo international bibliographic database. The requirement is for subscription access to psychological research publications and bibliographic resources, renewed through a three-year CHEST/Jisc agreement. The work is education-related information services, supporting access to research content rather than the delivery of teaching or training. Bath Spa University is the buyer, and the service is for use in the United Kingdom. The published scope identifies both PsycArticles and PsycInfo as part of the requirement.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Jisc Services. Bath Spa University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its stated gross value is £57,000. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, covering access to both APA PsycArticles and PsycInfo. The award is active and the contract is active. No evaluation basis is stated for this direct award.

For suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement returns to market, the relevant capability is securing and maintaining institutional access to specialist psychological research journals and bibliographic databases. A credible provider would need to support both full-text journal access through PsycArticles and international indexing and discovery through PsycInfo, delivered as a joined-up subscription service for a university. The buyer has procured these resources together through a CHEST/Jisc agreement, so experience supplying academic libraries or higher education institutions through comparable subscription and consortium arrangements would be pertinent. The awarded service was provided by Jisc Services, a large supplier. Suppliers should be equipped to manage licensing and ongoing access to established APA content at an institutional scale.
