## Summary

The Valuation Office Agency has completed a public procurement process to secure a subscription service titled "Westlaw Subscription", focusing on legal data resources beneficial for various practices, including landlord and tenant law, compulsory purchase and compensation, and planning law. This contract was awarded following a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action due to its low threshold value of £10,781. The tender period ended on 6th January 2020, while the contract period commenced on 19th February 2020 and will run until 18th February 2021. The contract will be delivered to an address in London, United Kingdom.

This procurement could represent a significant opportunity for businesses in the legal services and subscription data sectors, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive legal research tools or platforms. Competitors that offer innovative subscription services tailored to legal practices may find this an advantageous tender to pursue. However, the awarding to Thomson Reuters suggests that this market is competitive and may require advanced offerings to succeed in future tenders.
