## Summary

The Ministry of Justice led a procurement process for the provision of online legal resources aimed at ensuring judges and legal advisers have access to reliable and authoritative information. The procurement was categorised under services, with a specific focus on publishing services. The buying organisation, represented by The Lord Chancellor, sought to enhance the efficiency of judges and legal advisers by providing a comprehensive online database through a negotiated procurement method without publication of a contract notice. The procurement was successfully awarded to RELX (UK) Limited t/a LexisNexis for a contract signed on 31st March 2024, valued at £11,894,992.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in online publishing services, particularly those with expertise in legal content delivery. Businesses capable of providing sophisticated databases with unique legal content, similar to what RELX (UK) Limited t/a LexisNexis offers, are well-suited to compete for such contracts.
