### Procurement Information

American Chemical Society is the sole agent for its Chemical Abstracts Service Scifinder and owns the intellectual property of its academic publications. The research database material and tools are unique to the Scifinder platform and are unavailable elsewhere A Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency Notice (VEAT) was dispatched via Public Contracts Scotland (PCS) on 10/10/2025 which provided third parties with the opportunity to raise their objection to the contract being awarded without competition. No objection was received. Therefore it has been determined that the appropriate route to market for this requirement is an award without competition in accordance with The Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016, Regulation 6 - Circumstances in which a contract can be awarded without competition - (1) A contracting authority may award a public contract without seeking offers in relation to the proposed contract - b) where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons - (iii) the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights.
