## Summary

Historic England, a central government public authority based in Swindon, recently completed an award process for an annual journal subscription concerning archaeology and architectural history. The procurement, classified under services in the architectural and related services category, resulted in a direct award to Routledge/Taylor & Francis. The procurement process, completed without competition as it was below the threshold, covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. Key dates include the contract signing on 15th August 2025 and the delivery period spanning from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2026.

This contract highlights an excellent opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the publishing and information service sectors to explore similar contracting opportunities with public authorities. Businesses that specialise in niche market offerings and can cater to specific content demands might find this type of non-competitive procurement method advantageous for developing stable, long-term relationships with central government authorities. The gross contract value of GBP 12,003 underscores a substantial investment in specialised content distribution, indicating a promising avenue for SMEs looking eagerly to expand their portfolio within government procurement circles.
