Summary of the contracting process

This procurement falls under the "Subscription services" industry category (CPV code 79980000) and will be delivered within the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method was limited, employing a competitive quotation approach below the threshold. Key dates to note include the tender period end date on 30th April 2024 and the contract start and end dates from 1st May 2024 to 30th April 2027. The total contract value is £17,666.61 GBP.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for companies in the subscription services market, particularly those specialising in legal information services.
