Summary of the contracting process

The tender process concerning a "Practical Law Subscription" has reached the Award stage, with the contract awarded to THOMSON REUTERS (PROFESSIONAL) UK LIMITED. This procurement was initiated by Homes England, a sub-central government public authority based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. The procurement falls under the services category with a focus on subscription services and encompasses a broad regional delivery scope across several UK regions. The procurement method used was direct, classified as "Below threshold - without competition," and the contract was signed on 1st July 2025, set to conclude by 31st August 2026.

This tender presents a compelling opportunity for businesses looking to provide specialised subscription services, specifically those operating in the legal sector.
