## Summary

Bath Spa University procured educational publishing content for higher education, specifically the Law Trove Complete Law collection and the Law Trove Criminology & Criminal Justice Collection. The requirement was classified as higher education services and recorded as a goods procurement. Delivery was for Bath Spa University in Bath, South West England. The content supports teaching and learning in law, criminology and criminal justice, and was supplied by Oxford University Press. The buyer was Bath Spa University, whose Newton Park campus is in Bath. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that businesses of this scale could be relevant where they provide comparable academic legal information, collections or educational publishing products.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Oxford University Press. Bath Spa University used a direct award procedure on the stated basis that there was a sole provider. The award date was 1 September 2024, for £32,497.50 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract ran from 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2024 at 12:00. The requirement was not divided into lots. The procurement was evaluated through the direct sole-provider route rather than an open competition. The award remains recorded as active, while the overall tender status is complete. Oxford University Press was identified as the awarded supplier.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Bath Spa University for packaged digital or published academic resources covering law, criminology and criminal justice. A credible future competitor would need a relevant legal education catalogue, authoritative and current content, and the ability to supply complete subject collections suitable for higher education teaching. Experience supporting universities, lecturers and students with academic information products would strengthen a supplier’s position. Businesses should be able to show that their content covers the required disciplines at an equivalent breadth and standard, with reliable access and delivery arrangements. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist academic publishers or education-content providers may be commercially relevant if they can offer a comparable replacement for a sole-provider requirement.
