UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Worcester procured a student copyright licence covering the university’s activities in Worcester and the wider United Kingdom. The requirement is a copyright licensing service, classified under copyright consultancy services, intended to provide licensed access and usage rights for students. This is a specialist intellectual property and education-sector service rather than a supply of physical goods or construction work. Businesses active in copyright licensing, collective rights administration, copyright consultancy or related academic content permissions may find the requirement relevant. The buyer is the University of Worcester, a public authority based at Henwick Grove in Worcester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Copyright Licensing Agency Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and has an awarded contract value of £61,571.73 excluding VAT, or £73,886.07 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. It relates to a single completed lot, and the award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so the published outcome does not set out competing bids or comparative evaluation criteria.

This procurement demonstrates an established University of Worcester requirement for student copyright licensing, with sufficient scale to support a dedicated specialist provider. Competitors would need practical expertise in copyright permissions and licensing, an understanding of how licensed material is used in higher education, and the operational systems to administer rights for a university student population. Credibility would also depend on being able to provide dependable licensing coverage, manage usage or permissions queries, and maintain compliant records over the service period. Organisations that combine copyright consultancy with institutional licensing arrangements are the closest fit when this buyer next reviews the same requirement.
