UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England is procuring subscription services under the requirement titled “Nexis Solutions and Partner Charges”. The purchase covers access to Nexis solutions and associated partner charges, rather than goods, construction or delivery-based works. The buying organisation is the University of the West of England, based at its Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The service is classified as subscription services, indicating a continuing information or software access arrangement supplied to support the university’s activities. The requirement is treated as a single service package. The selected provider is LexisNexis Risk Solutions UK Limited, a large UK-based supplier headquartered in Cardiff. Businesses offering comparable subscription-based information, research or software services may find this buyer and requirement relevant.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. LexisNexis Risk Solutions UK Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £23,503 excluding VAT, or £28,203.60 including VAT. The contract is active. The arrangement therefore represents an established one-year subscription commitment rather than an open competition. The procurement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route, with no competitive tendering recorded. The published requirement described the deal as covering Nexis solutions and partner charges until 31 July 2027. The contracting authority is the University of the West of England.

This award demonstrates established demand from the University of the West of England for paid access to Nexis-related subscription services and associated partner charges. A future competitor would need to provide a comparable subscription service capable of meeting an institutional customer’s ongoing access requirements, with pricing and service terms suitable for a university environment. The successful supplier is a large specialist risk-solutions business, so competing providers should be able to demonstrate a credible service proposition, dependable delivery and the organisational capacity to support a continuing institutional subscription. Suppliers with relevant information, research, risk or software platforms may use this procurement as evidence of the type of service the university purchases and the scale of commitment involved.
