    Brief

    This is a contract details notice, not a call for competition. UK Research Innovation (UKRI) is proceeding with a single-supplier procurement for the Oxford University Press (OUP) Read and Publish Agreement for the second year (2027). This agreement covers the read fee component, which provides access to OUP's academic journals and publications. Due to technical and contractual continuity reasons, only OUP can supply this service as it is a continuation of an existing framework agreement. This notice announces the award of contract rather than inviting new bids.
