## Summary

The University of Cumbria has completed the procurement process for a copyright licence to provide course-related reading materials for the academic year 2024-25. This procurement falls under the industry category of "Industry specific software package" and is geographically located in the North West of England, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was direct, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. The contract, valued at £80,827.49, was awarded on 31st July 2024 to The Copyright Licensing Agency Ltd. The contract period spans from 1st August 2024 to 31st July 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in providing industry-specific software packages or copyright materials. Large organisations with the capacity to meet the specialised requirements of educational institutions are well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. Although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not specifically targeted in this instance, there is potential for these businesses to explore collaborations or partnerships to increase their chances in future tender opportunities of a similar nature.
