## Summary

Manchester City Council has concluded a direct award contract with RELX (UK) Limited, trading as LexisNexis, for the provision of legal research services under the Local Government Gold package. This procurement falls under the services category and is related to the delivery of legal services to the Manchester region. The decision, made on 13 October 2025, reflects the need to continue established business processes with LexisNexis due to their unique intellectual property rights.
