Scientific e-journals and e-books: subscription, access and related services
The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training seeks to establish a unified, reliable channel through which its entire community—including trainers, analysts, researchers and operational staff—can access peer‑reviewed scientific e‑journals and e‑books. Recognising that contemporary policing, security and intelligence rely increasingly on empirical evidence, data analysis and interdisciplinary research, the agency requires a formal procurement process that ensures all personnel receive consistent, up‑to‑date, and lawful access to high‑quality scientific literature. By centralising these resources, the agency aims to harmonise training programmes, reinforce evidence‑based practices across jurisdictions, and strengthen the Agency’s position as a hub for knowledge exchange and professional development.
The tender covers subscriptions, provision of access and related support services for scientific e‑journals and e‑books, and the management of the associated licensing, authentication, and access‑control mechanisms. The contract must integrate seamlessly with CEPOL’s existing digital environment, supporting the Agency’s current licensing, authentication, and access‑management systems. The solution must support licensed content access, authentication and be compatible with CEPOL’s current digital infrastructure.
