The DHSC will receive these services from The Copyright Licensing Agency Ltd. The tender process started on 24th March 2023, with a contract period running from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2028, giving businesses the opportunity to provide subscription services in the United Kingdom and other regions.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the services sector, particularly those offering subscription services and copyright-related solutions. Small and medium enterprises are well-suited to compete, given the specified maximum budget for the contract and the potential for yearly value variations depending on market conditions. Businesses with expertise in copyright licensing and content sharing will find this contract suitable for growth and collaboration with the DHSC in London.

## Notice

This is a subscriptions contract where the Supplier provide DHSC with a CLA Licence which is regulated by the government through the collective licencing body, offering DHSC a number of advantages including permission to reuse, share content, to use text and images from books, newspapers, online publications etc. while abiding with copyright regulations. It saves time as it prevents asking for consent from individual copyright owners every time DHSC wanted to copy, print, email or save any documents. Additional information: Additional information: A PS130,000 maximum budget for this multiyear (5 years) contract has been allocated. Awarded value for Year 1 is: PS23,692.08 The awarded value per year may differ from the previous year depending on the market climate, thus a Variation form will be filled out each year to reflect that change and the total awarded value will increase. For example, Year 2 spend could be PS25,000 and Year 3 could be PS20,000 which would bring the total awarded value up to PS68,692.08 There is an option for the Buyer to terminate the contract after 3 years if necessary which is set out in the contract attached (see Special Terms). If the Contract runs through the 5 years, the allocated budget allowance may be spent in full, but if the Contract is terminated after 3 years, a total amount less than PS130,000 will have been spent.
