Summary of the contracting process

The Competition and Markets Authority has completed a procurement process for a contract titled "Practical Law Database Access", focused on database services. The contract, valued at £34,540, was initiated as a single tender action below the threshold. Though the procurement stage is now complete, it originally encompassed a tender period that ended on 10th September 2018, with the contract commencing on 11th September 2018 and running through to 31st March 2020. The contract's delivery addresses include locations across the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in database services, particularly those that can provide access to legal resources—an area ripe for growth given the increasing demand for legal databases. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts, as the buying organisation, the Competition and Markets Authority, is known for supporting smaller suppliers. Companies that can demonstrate innovative solutions in the procurement and delivery of database services may find themselves at a competitive advantage when pursuing similar opportunities in the future.
