Summary of the contracting process

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is seeking an online legal information and research service covering equality law, human rights, public law and related legal practice areas. The service is expected to provide authoritative legal content, research tools, updates, templates, training and user support.

Delivery covers the whole of the United Kingdom, including England, Wales and Scotland. The requirement is for the Commission’s organisational use and is classified as a service involving information systems and legal advisory and information services.

The process has reached tender: the Commission invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single lot, with a price-to-quality evaluation weighting of 20:80. Questions were due by 5 August 2026 at 17:00, and offers were due by 21 August 2026 at 13:00. Electronic submission is allowed.

The service requires a platform and support model suitable for organisational users across the United Kingdom, with capacity to maintain content and functionality throughout the contract period. The buyer identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it potentially relevant to specialist providers as well as larger legal information businesses.
