## Summary

The Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) has completed a direct award procurement process for the "CTC000-GEN - Newspaper Licencing Authority" contract, focusing on licensing services in the copyright consultancy industry. The contract was directly awarded to NLA Media Access Limited, the exclusive rights holder for newspaper content in the UK. The procurement highlights WRAP's compliance with UK copyright law, with the contract period running from 6th November 2025 to 6th November 2026. Located in Banbury, UK, WRAP's procurement process ensures their ability to legally distribute media content, adhering to the statutory regulations without risking potential legal issues.

This tender provides business growth opportunities primarily for media access and licensing firms capable of managing copyrights and offering consultancy services. Given the nature of the procurement process and the exclusive rights involved, businesses holding similar statutory roles or possessing unique intellectual property rights can find opportunities to enhance their portfolio and ensure compliance with media and copyright management needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in copyright consultancy and related services would particularly benefit, leveraging exclusive or niche market capabilities in the UK media rights landscape.

## Notice

The NLA Media Access Licence gives organisations permission to copy, share, and distribute newspaper and media content, both in print and digital form, for internal or client use. Without it, copying or circulating news articles (even short extracts or screenshots) can breach copyright law. As the NLA is sole authorised owner and licensor of copyright in the newspaper content the licence required cannot be obtained from any other supplier.
