Situated in Portsmouth, UK, the University sees this contract as a critical step in ensuring the provision of legal research and practitioner skills training required for assessed coursework. The contract began on 25th June 2026 and is set to continue until 30th April 2030, with an overall contract value of £306,223.

While the contract was directly awarded to RELX PLC, businesses that provide supportive services or complementary digital educational tools might find opportunities for collaboration or auxiliary contracts.
