Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by the University of the West of England, located in Bristol, for the acquisition of Lexis Nexis Books. This process, completed under a public authority - sub-central government classification, falls within the industry category of library books. The award stage was finalised on 9th October 2025, following a contract period that spanned from 20th August 2025 to 21st August 2025. The procurement method was below the threshold and unspecified, which means traditional tender processes might have been adapted to suit this smaller-scale procurement.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), especially those operating in the publishing or library resources sectors. With the procurement being below threshold, it exemplifies a viable market entry point for SMEs such as Lexis Nexis UK, which secured the contract. This demonstrates that businesses within the United Kingdom, especially those with capabilities in providing specialised goods like library books, are well-suited to benefit from such opportunities. The delivery location is Bristol in the UK, indicating potential logistical considerations for interested suppliers in the local or nearby regions.
