ScienceDirect Platform Renewal

CU seeks to renew its ScienceDirect subscription, a widely-used research platform accessed across all subjects, campuses, and academic levels. ScienceDirect provides extensive multidisciplinary content that supports teaching, learning, and research activities. This is a renewal opportunity for an existing strategic resource. The contract value is below the UK Government threshold for competitive tendering (£207,720.00 including VAT), allowing for direct negotiation with the supplier. Interested parties should demonstrate their understanding of the platform's critical role in supporting CU's academic mission and the costs associated with transitioning to alternative platforms.
