    Brief

    The University is seeking to acquire perpetual access rights to digital library books through third-party platform providers. This opportunity covers title-by-title licensing agreements with approved publishers and content providers for academic and research materials. Unlike traditional subscription models, these purchases grant ongoing access to content hosted on external platforms without recurring annual fees, enabling cost-effective long-term collection development. The contract will be awarded through the SUPC framework for Books, e-Books and Associated Services (LIB4061 SU) with a term of 2 years, plus optional extensions of 24 months each (2+1+1 structure). This approach ensures the University can maintain continuous access to essential teaching and research resources while supporting both curriculum delivery and independent scholarly work.
