Review Details
An economic operator that suffers, or risks suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland)Regulations 2015 (SSI2015/446) (as amended) may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.
Why this procedure was chosen
The University requires continued access to SciVal software licences and support services to enable the analysis of research performance, benchmarking against peer institutions, and the provision of bibliometric and AI-enabled insights to support strategic decision-making. SciVal is a proprietary research analytics platform developed and licensed exclusively by Elsevier. The University's existing workflows, reporting processes, and research analysis activities rely on the functionality and data provided by the platform. No reasonable alternative supplier can provide access to the proprietary software or the associated licensed content. The University has therefore determined that competition is absent for technical reasons and that the continued provision of SciVal by Elsevier is necessary to ensure continuity of service and access to the required research analytics capabilities. As such, this contract shall be awarded under Regulation 33(1)(b)(ii), as the University intends to award this public contract following the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice on the basis that competition is absent for technical reasons.
