## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Robert Gordon University for the provision of library publications under the Jisc framework has reached the award stage. Situated in Aberdeen, this procurement action falls within the education industry category, specifically focusing on goods. The contract has been awarded to Jisc and involves the supply of read and publish agreements via an open procedure. Although the tender process has been completed, it originally operated under an open procurement method, encouraging wide participation. The contract, valued at £941,448, was officially signed on 16th January 2026.

Opportunities for business growth through this contract are tailored to large-scale suppliers in the educational goods and services sector. Given the nature of read and publish agreements, businesses with established links in digital publication platforms, especially those with the capability to cater to university needs, are well-suited to compete in similar procurements. Additionally, organisations experienced in leveraging frameworks such as the Jisc can benefit from seeking future opportunities in collaborative or framework-based education contracts across the UK, especially within the higher education landscape.
