## Summary

The University of Edinburgh bought a 12-month subscription to Oxford University Press online products: a range of OUP datasets and online reference works for higher education. This is a purchase of digital information resources rather than a delivery or construction project. The products are for use in Edinburgh. The procurement was made through Jisc’s Oxford University Press Online Products for Higher Education agreement covering 2026–2030, which provides the framework route for these products. Oxford University Press is the publisher and supplier of the subscribed resources.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded to Oxford University Press through a call-off from Jisc’s OUP Online Products for Higher Education agreement, using an open procedure. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and is valued at £325,976.63. The initial contract period is 12 months, with an option to extend for three further 12-month periods, to 2030. The requirement was arranged as one lot. No separate award criteria were applied because the purchase was made under the existing Jisc agreement. One bid was recorded for the lot. The contract is for the subscription to the specified publisher’s datasets and online reference works.

This award demonstrates demand from the University of Edinburgh for institutional access to a broad portfolio of Oxford University Press datasets and online reference works. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to provide comparable, publisher-quality digital reference and data resources for higher education, with the breadth to meet the university’s range of subject and research needs. The route used was a call-off from a Jisc agreement dedicated to OUP online products for higher education, so familiarity with higher-education subscription procurement and the relevant framework route would be important. The recorded award went to the publisher itself, indicating the value of direct access to its own content. Suppliers offering unrelated digital services or isolated titles would be less closely aligned with this requirement.
