Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden has recently completed the procurement for a "Legal Library" service aimed at providing an online legal library solution. This service delivers essential legal information across areas where the Council needs advice and representation. The procurement process, completed under a "below threshold - limited competition" method, culminated in the awarding of the contract to THOMSON REUTERS (PROFESSIONAL) UK LIMITED. The contract, covering the period from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2028, has an overall value of £209,390. The main procurement category is "services" within the legal advisory and representation sector, and the location for delivery is London, UK.

This procurement process offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in legal advisory services, particularly those providing technological solutions for information accessibility. Businesses that can deliver comprehensive online platforms with up-to-date legal resources will find themselves well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Engaging in such contracts can enhance a company's portfolio and reputation, potentially opening doors to further public sector contracts within similar industry categories. The completion of this contract by a large-scale organisation like Thomson Reuters indicates that capable suppliers with robust infrastructure and expertise in legal services solutions stand a strong chance in future competitive procurements.
