This initiative falls under the services category in the education sector. Situated in Edinburgh, Scotland, the procurement was conducted using a limited procedure, allowing for an award without the prior publication of a call for competition due to market constraints. The contract was signed on 20th July 2017, with the supplier being Elsevier BV, known for providing the exclusive SciVal database, which aligns with the university's needs for researching performance assessment. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in educational services and analytics. Companies that specialise in research tools and data analytics will find this contract particularly relevant, especially those that offer solutions for large, research-intensive institutions. As the University of Edinburgh seeks to evaluate and enhance its research strategies, firms that can provide innovative tools and supports could take advantage of this market demand to grow their business. ## Notice The University of Edinburgh required a tool which specifically researched data to enable institutions to assess their researched performance from a variety of perspectives in order to establish, execute and evaluate strategies based on reliable evidence. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University of Edinburgh required a supplier to deliver against its comprehensive need of a large research-intensive institution, therefore the route for NCA was followed due to the limitation within the market. Elsevier BV is the sole producer of the SciVal database which is a research analytics tool and enables institutions to assess their research performance from a variety of perspectives, this is what the University of Edinburgh requires. ### Procurement Information Under Regulation Reg 33 (1) (a) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, a contracting authority may use the negotiated procedure without the prior publication in the case of a public contract, based on the following justification: Where no tenders, no suitable tenders, no requests to participate or no suitable requests to participate have been submitted for a previous Open or Restricted tender exercise, provided that the initial conditions of the contract are not substantially altered. A tender shall be considered not to be suitable where it is irrelevant to the contract, being manifestly incapable, without substantial changes, of meeting the University's needs and requirements as specified in the procurement documents. A request to participate shall be considered not to be suitable where the bidder has been or would have been excluded or where it does not meet the selection criteria. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL290277 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jul 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 20 Jul 2017 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH1 1HT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48810000 - Information systems ## Release History - 21 Jul 2017 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL290277 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL290277 NCA30711 - Research Analytics Tool - The University of Edinburgh required a tool which specifically researched data to enable institutions to assess their researched performance from a variety of perspectives in order to establish, execute and evaluate strategies based on reliable evidence. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/procurement/supplying - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000505265 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
