Summary of the contracting process

The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) has awarded a contract for the annual subscription of Westlaw UK to Thomson Reuters. This procurement falls under the "Subscription services" category and is located in London, United Kingdom. The procurement process was a direct single tender action, an approach typically used for lower-value contracts. The contract has a total value of £19,192.60 and is set to commence on 1st February 2025, concluding on 31st January 2026. The award was completed on 19th November 2024 and subsequently published for transparency.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in legal and compliance data services. Although the current contract has been awarded, similar future tenders could offer significant business growth potential, particularly for firms capable of delivering specialised subscription-based services. Large-scale suppliers, similar to Thomson Reuters, may find such contracts particularly well-suited to their capabilities in providing comprehensive legal databases and information services.
