Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of online legal books, targeted at lawyers and legal officers. Classified under the 'services' category, this project was facilitated through a direct procurement method, below the competitive threshold, and involved the award of a contract to THOMSON REUTERS (PROFESSIONAL) UK LIMITED. Based in Derby, UK, Derby City Council initiated the tender process on a legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. The award was completed with the contract period spanning from 11th May 2026 to 10th May 2027, at a gross value of £52,740.29. The project is registered under the main classification 'legal services' and will primarily service the UKF11 region.

This tender presents business growth opportunities, particularly for large enterprises capable of providing specialized legal services. With the contract awarded to a large-scale supplier like Thomson Reuters, businesses within the legal publication industry could consider forming collaborations or seeking sub-contracting opportunities. Companies that can offer robust digital and online distribution of legal documentation and resources stand to gain, pointing towards a market niche where firms can expand their reach and contract portfolios by engaging with governmental bodies such as Derby City Council.
