UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales procured a renewal of LexisNexis legal research products and related information services. The requirement covers legal research, data analytics, risk management and information services with artificial intelligence functionality, including industry-specific software (CPV 48100000). The goods and services support policing and public-sector legal and operational work across South Wales. Delivery covers Bridgend and the wider South Wales areas represented by Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Cardiff, the Vale of Glamorgan, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Merthyr Tydfil, Caerphilly, Blaenau Gwent, Torfaen, Monmouthshire and Newport. The buyer is the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales, a sub-central public authority.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold procedure recorded as unknown, with one completed lot. RELX (UK) Limited trading as LexisNexis was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026 and runs from 19 August 2026 to 19 August 2031. Its value is £97,187.18 excluding VAT, or £116,624.62 including VAT. The award covers the LexisNexis renewal and associated legal research software and information services across the specified South Wales delivery areas. The recorded outcome is an active contract, rather than a cancelled or terminated award. The procurement information identifies the requirement and supplier but does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from South Wales policing for specialist legal information technology rather than general office software. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would combine authoritative legal research content with data analytics, risk management information and usable artificial intelligence functionality. Credible competitors would need to support professional users across multiple South Wales areas, provide a dependable industry-specific software platform and maintain the service over a multi-year contract. Experience serving public authorities or policing organisations would help demonstrate understanding of legal, operational and information-management needs. The successful supplier is a large specialist provider, indicating that breadth of content, integrated information services and the capacity to support a regional public-sector customer are important competitive strengths when this requirement is next considered.
