Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council has awarded a contract to Allium UK Holding Ltd for exclusive access to British Standards Institute (BSI) publications. This procurement activity falls under the industry category of "Documentation services" (CPV Code 79131000) and will take place in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was completed through a single tender action (below the threshold) and the contract period extends from 11th July 2024 to 28th April 2025. The total value of the contract is GBP 28,079.25.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specializing in documentation services, especially those that can offer proprietary or exclusive document access solutions. Companies in the construction and engineering sectors, particularly those focused on highways, building control, and flood risk management, would benefit from competing in similar tenders. While the current opportunity is not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, large-scale enterprises with established resources and networks would find this procurement advantageous for expanding their portfolios and strengthening their market positions.
