## Summary

Coventry University has recently completed a public procurement process to acquire the "Workspace Academic Annual Licence" from Refinitiv Limited, a provider of software package and information systems. This tender, classified under the CPV code 48000000, involves purchasing licenses for Thomson Reuters Eikon, Datastream, and Worldscope as part of the Workspace package. The procurement followed a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action (below threshold). The contract, valued at £73,848, runs from 17th November 2024 to 17th November 2025. Key dates include the award date on 15th November 2024 and the tender period end date on 16th November 2024. The delivery location is Coventry, postal code CV15FB.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities for firms involved in providing educational software solutions. Companies that specialise in academic and financial databases, particularly SMEs, would find such tenders well suited to their offerings. By securing such contracts, businesses can enhance their market presence and establish long-term relationships with reputable educational institutions like Coventry University.

## Notice

Refinitiv are the sole providers of Thomson Reuters Eikon, Datastream and Worldscope. The afore mentioned software was purchased from the supplier individually, but they have changed the way these can be supplied. All these products now come under the Workspace package, therefore we need to sign up for that in order to continue to use the above for teaching and learning. Like other companies such as Bloomberg, Refinitv started the databases many decades ago and they are the sole providers of this software."
