UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tendring District Council bought legal library materials and associated services through a framework call-off. The requirement covers legal information resources and related services, including printed books, brochures and leaflets; newspapers, journals, periodicals and magazines; software packages and information systems; and legal services. Delivery is in Essex, England. The call-off supports the council’s own requirement and is focused on access to legal research and reference materials, with associated services supplied as part of the arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Tendring District Council used a selective route to make a below-threshold award under an existing framework; the call-off was not competitive. RELX (UK) Limited trading as LexisNexis was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2030. Its value is £28,988.07 excluding VAT (£34,785.68 including VAT). The contract uses a schedule of rates, with provision to purchase additional licences under the arrangement. The award covers legal library materials and associated services.

For suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement from Tendring District Council, this award indicates demand for a combined legal information offer: authoritative print and periodical resources, legal research software or information systems, and associated legal services. A credible provider would need to supply and support access to a varied legal library, manage licences and accommodate additional licence requirements through a schedule-of-rates model. The awarded supplier is a large information-services business, so competitors would need the breadth of content, technical capability and service capacity to support a council’s ongoing use of legal resources. The buyer used a framework call-off rather than an open competition for this purchase, making relevant framework access and the ability to fulfil call-off requirements commercially important.
