## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, has completed the procurement process for the provision of Wiley Read and Publish Open Access services, covering 2026 to 2028, under the contract UOS-41131-2026. This award falls within the education sector and was managed as a limited procurement, specifically as a call-off from Jisc's existing agreement. The contract was finalised and formally signed on 1st January 2026, commencing thereafter. The process was executed without a prior call for competition and involved a single bid submission, sourced from a non-EU provider, specifically Jisc, a large-scale enterprise based in Bristol. The total value of the contract awarded amounts to £760,000 GBP.

Business growth opportunities arise for companies experienced in delivering open-access publishing services, particularly those suited to call-off agreements within the education industry. While Jisc was the successful supplier, other enterprises engaged with similar frameworks, or those developing robust publishing distribution services tailored for educational institutions, may benefit from observing this transaction. The non-traditional procurement method indicates that future similar opportunities might emerge through strategic partnerships or agreements. Businesses should additionally consider involvement in direct service provision stages to increase competitiveness for forthcoming opportunities in the education sector.
