02/ The brief
What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
Library Books contracts form a core component of the University's provision of teaching, learning and research resources. They enable the University to supply enrolled students and academic staff with access to published content that supports curriculum delivery, independent study and academic research, ensuring sources are obtained from reputable authors and publishers.
Third-Party Platform Perpetual Access, covers the acquisition of title-by-title perpetual access rights to digital publications under licence agreements with approved publishers and content providers. However, instead of being hosted on the contracted aggregator's platform, the licence purchased through the aggregator permits access to titles hosted elsewhere. These purchases provide the University with ongoing access to academic and research materials without the need for recurring subscription payments, supporting long-term collection development and ensuring continued availability of core teaching and research resources.
Direct Award through the SUPC framework for Books, e-Book and Associated Services (LIB4061 SU).
Term: 2 Years, plus optional 24 month extension (2+1+1).
Contract Award is retrospective to the Contract start date
