Why this procedure was chosen
Direct award is made under Schedule 5, Paragraph 5 of the Procurement Act 2023, as only Clarivate can provide access to the Web of Science platform due to exclusive intellectual property rights. UK access is available solely via Jisc under a sector-wide agreement confirmed by Clarivate. No reasonable alternative exists, and the platform is essential to meet UKHSA’s statutory research and evidence-based analysis requirements.
