Thomson Reuters is a monopoly in the legal publications market and therefore, Thomson Reuters were negotiated with directly to establish a Contract for the provision of library subscriptions.
Procurement Information
Thomson Reuters is the major suppliers of legal publications used by SCTS. They are publishers of the material we purchase, and having a de-facto monopoly, they are the only one that can provide the material. An attempt had been made by procurement to see if intermediaries were able to provide better agreements but being the material published by Thomson Reuters, they are the only one able to provide a better deal. With the contract in place, we have negotiated to: - Have a longer period for claims in case of not receipt of some goods in the remote courts, for which we are not always informed in a timely manner - Reduced annual price increase for the full duration of the contract - Start receiving carbon footprint reports from the supplier to understand if any steps could be taken to reduce SCTS environmental impact
