02/ The brief
What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
This contract is a direct award under Schedule 5, Paragraph 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 (intellectual property rights or other exclusive rights). The requirement is for continued access by UK Space Agency to the proprietary Researchfish Explorer platform, owned and supplied exclusively by Elsevier B.V.. The subscription provides access to grant outcome data to support the monitoring and analysis of research and innovation outcomes arising from funded activities. As the intellectual property, software and access rights are controlled by Elsevier B.V., competition is absent because the requirement can only be supplied by the holder of the relevant exclusive rights.
