Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process, led by Leeds City Council, culminated in a contract award on 6th June 2025 to Oxford University Press Limited for a Research Sharing Resource. This tender falls under the research services category with the CPV code 73110000, primarily targeting activities in the Yorkshire and the Humber region in the United Kingdom. The procurement followed a direct award method, indicating a straightforward and non-competitive process, with the contract period starting from 7th June 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in large-scale research services, particularly those capable of handling contracts through direct awards. While the suitability criteria indicated that the tender was not specifically accessible for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, larger entities in the research sector can find growth prospects through similar procurements by establishing valuable connections with public sector organisations like Leeds City Council. Businesses with expertise and resources in delivering comprehensive research services could benefit from participating in future similar procurements.
