Description

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..
