## Summary

The Financial Ombudsman Service Limited, a public authority in the sub-central government classification, recently completed a procurement process for a 12-month subscription service for Practical Law. The process, which utilised a direct procurement method without competition due to its below-threshold status, was finalised on 19th May 2026. The tender, executed in London, was categorised under services with the industry classification pointing towards subscription services. The contract was awarded to Thomson Reuters (Professional) UK Limited, effective from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2027, marking the completion of the procurement stage with the total value amounting to £39,685.62 GBP.

This tender presents ample opportunities for large-scale businesses that specialise in providing subscription services, particularly those already established within the legal or information services sectors, to align with governmental needs and enhance their business portfolio. Although the procurement method was direct and restricted to existing qualified suppliers, businesses seeking to engage in similar future opportunities should consider forming strategic partnerships or expanding their capabilities to meet specified criteria and thus become potential candidates for such government contract awards.
