## Summary

The University of the Highlands and Islands, located in Inverness, UK, has completed a public procurement process for the tender titled "EBSCO Collections." This procurement falls under the education industry category, specifically involving various services supplied by EBSCO Information Services. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, which took place without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 28 May 2021, with a total value of £420,746, aimed at fulfilling ongoing requirements for collections to be used by undergraduate and postgraduate students.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in educational resources and services, particularly those capable of providing similar unique collections. Businesses that can offer innovative digital library solutions or specialised academic content tailored for higher education institutions would be well-positioned to compete in future procurement processes. Given that EBSCO supplies collections that are not available from other vendors, providers that can demonstrate unique functionalities or exclusive content would also have an advantageous edge in this market.
