## Summary

This procurement process involves Coventry University, which recently awarded a contract for "Workspace licences" to Refinitiv Limited. The procurement is within the software package and information systems industry category and focuses on renewing software necessary for teaching and learning purposes at the university. Located in Coventry and falling under the public authority-sub-central government classification, Coventry University engaged in a direct procurement method below threshold without competition. Key dates include the contract period starting on 1st December 2025 and ending on 30th November 2026, with the contract being signed on 1st December 2025.

This tender presents growth opportunities particularly for businesses specialising in comprehensive software packages and information systems, as well as those with unique or sole provider capabilities akin to Refinitiv's position with Thomson Reuters Eikon and related products. Such businesses can benefit from pursuing similar direct procurement opportunities, especially when they offer specialised or niche technologies that are critical for educational or governmental functions. Leveraging established database services or software solutions that cater directly to educational institutions might also provide a competitive edge in securing similar contracts.

## Notice

Refinitiv are the sole providers of Thomson Reuters Eikon, DataStream and World scope. The afore mentioned software was purchased from the supplier individually, but they have changed the way these can be supplied. All these products now come under the Workspace package, therefore we need to renew to continue to use the above for teaching and learning. Like other companies Refinitv started the databases many decades ago and they are the sole providers of this software.
