UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Trinity University procured copyright licensing services for its academic year 2026–27 requirements. The work covers fees payable to the Copyright Licensing Agency, with the associated service classified as patent and copyright consultancy services (CPV 79120000). Delivery is for Leeds Trinity University in Leeds, United Kingdom. The buyer is a public authority operating at sub-central government level. The requirement was arranged as a single service package for the university, rather than being divided into multiple workstreams. The selected provider is Copyright Licensing Agency Limited, a UK-based small and medium-sized enterprise specialising in copyright licensing. This opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations providing copyright permissions, licensing administration or related advisory services to higher education institutions.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and comprised one lot. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Copyright Licensing Agency Limited was awarded the contract. Its value is £108,030 excluding VAT and £129,637 including VAT. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so no competitive scoring basis or tender submission deadline applies. The arrangement covers the university’s copyright licensing fees for the 2026–27 academic year and relates to services delivered for Leeds Trinity University in Leeds.

For a supplier assessing future higher education copyright work, this award demonstrates a defined institutional requirement for copyright licensing fees delivered through a direct, below-threshold route. A credible competitor would need to provide an established copyright licensing service capable of supporting an academic institution throughout a full academic year, with reliable administration of permissions and licensing obligations. Relevant experience with universities, colleges or other education bodies would help demonstrate understanding of academic content use and the associated compliance environment. Providers would also need the operational capacity to manage the licensing relationship, maintain accurate records and handle routine communication and payments for the institution. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that this scale of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large corporate provider.
