Online subscriptions to foreign scientific journals for the University of Valladolid in 2027

Summary

The University of Valladolid is procuring, in a single lot, a broad range of foreign scientific journals and related publications for electronic access in 2027. The estimated contract value is €446,006.97 excluding VAT and €463,847.25 including VAT. The contract runs from 1 January to 31 December 2027 and has no extension. The supplier will manage subscriptions and access, enable use across the university’s four campuses through IP-address recognition, activate the subscriptions, and maintain permanent access to the subscribed years even if a subscription is later cancelled. The work also includes managing orders, notifying the library about title changes and delays, providing a subscription-status report every two months, seeking restoration of interrupted access from publishers, and providing technical support. If a publication ceases during the contract, the corresponding amount must be refunded within 90 days. Bids are evaluated on price and specified service commitments: price is worth up to 50 points, while the other criteria concern rapid access activation, timely publisher payment, subscription monitoring and usage statistics, and unified online access to full texts.
