## Summary

The Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council has recently completed a procurement process for a service titled "Westlaw and PLC Legal Text Subscription". This tender falls under the legal advisory and information services industry category, with a value of £56,257. The contract is effective from 1st August 2022 to 31st July 2023, replacing two previous smaller subscriptions into a streamlined product. The procurement method used for this process was categorised as 'Other', and the tender period concluded on 29th July 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in legal research services and subscription-based platforms. Companies that can provide comprehensive legal texts and online research tools would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts. With a focus on supporting legal teams, businesses offering innovative technologies that enhance legal accessibility may find substantial growth potential in this sector.

## Notice

The Legal Services team have an existing subscription with Thomson Reuters for access to Westlaw and PLC legal texts. This subscription provides the team with an online legal research service with expert how-to guidance, clear explanations of current law, and tools and templates. This allows solicitors easy access to legal texts to assist with their cases. Previously we have had two separate smaller subscription contracts that are now being 'streamlined' into a single product to allow access to both existing content as well as additional content.
