Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), based in London, recently completed a public procurement process for "Legal Subscriptions - Lexis Nexis." The initiative falls under the services category and pertains to the textbook industry, with a procurement scope that spans various regions, including the British Overseas Territories and the United Kingdom. The process used was a single tender action, chosen because the procurement was below the threshold, and culminated in the award stage on 28th March 2025. The contract is valued at £765,773 and covers the contract period from 1st April 2025 to 28th April 2028.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses tied to the legal and educational service sectors, particularly those specialising in supplementary legal materials or subscriptions. While this specific contract was awarded directly to Lexis Nexis, large-scale suppliers with capabilities in delivering comprehensive, subscription-based services, particularly within the education and legal sectors, would be well-positioned for similar future opportunities, especially given the contract's suitability for voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).
