UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Coventry University, located in Coventry, United Kingdom, which has completed a direct procurement process for a Westlaw subscription from Thomson Reuters (Professional) UK Ltd. The subscription services will cater to the university's Library Services from 1st February 2026 to 31st January 2027. The procurement falls under the 'goods' category, specifically software packages and information systems, and was carried out using a 'below threshold - without competition' method. This contract was awarded on the 19th of January 2026 and the details were published on the 3rd of February 2026. The contract value amounts to £27,704.76 after taxes.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies that specialise in software packages, particularly those that deal with legal information systems, similar to what is offered by Thomson Reuters. Businesses that can provide specialised software solutions for academic institutions could find growth potential in similar procurements. It's an advantageous scenario for suppliers experienced in direct procurement deals below threshold levels, filling niche software needs in educational and public sector environments. Large scale suppliers with extensive resources to handle detailed requirements like Thomson Reuters would be well-suited for such contracts.
