Legal Justification

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.

No reasonable alternative exists, and the platform is essential to meet UKHSA’s statutory research and evidence-based analysis requirements.
