## Summary

The University of Essex has completed the procurement process for a subscription to Lexis+, an online legal research platform. This contract falls under the 'goods' category, specifically journals and periodicals, relevant to the education industry sector. The procurement was undertaken using a limited process, without prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the scope of the normal directive. The contract, which was awarded to LexisNexis, a large-scale supplier, will commence on 17th September 2024. The contract involves a three-year subscription valued at £343,042, vital for supporting the university's law degree courses. Key procurement stages were completed by 1st August 2024, with the University located in Colchester, UK, serving as the buying organisation.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in legal research and educational support services, particularly those specialising in legal database subscriptions and academic resources. Given LexisNexis's unique content and intellectual property rights, competitors in similar niches could seek to offer complementary services or resources to academic institutions. Legal firms, publishing houses, and tech companies providing digital learning solutions or legal research aids will find such procurements particularly aligned with their growth strategies.
