Tender description
Copyright licence renewal for photocopying and scanning of publications for educational purposes (CLA). Lot 1: The University requires an annual Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) Higher Education Licence to enable the lawful photocopying, scanning, digital reproduction, storage, communication, and sharing of extracts from copyright‑protected works for teaching, learning and research. The CLA is the UK‑government‑recognised collective rights management body authorised to issue licences permitting the reuse of text and images from books, journals, magazines and digital publications. This licence is essential for higher education institutions, as it provides the legal permissions needed to copy material from a wide range of UK and international publishers and rights‑holders. Without a valid CLA licence, staff and students would be unable to lawfully reproduce copyrighted content required to support course delivery, academic study, and research activity.

About the buyer
University of Strathclyde is a higher education provider in Glasgow, and buys through its own Procurement Services Team. Tender notices are advertised through the Public Contracts Scotland portal. Larger contracts also appear on Find a Tender once they pass the set threshold. Schools, faculties and departments place their own routine orders under central Finance Regulations and procurement procedures. Framework agreements through Advanced Procurement for Universities & Colleges, the Scottish Government and the Government Procurement Service cover much of its spend. Suppliers need a university purchase order before supplying goods or services, and cannot win business through direct marketing.
Education procurement reached £47.4bn in 2024/25, the fourth-largest public sector budget.
Over the past 5 years, most of University of Strathclyde's contract awards have been in business services, IT services and education and training.
