## Summary

The University of South Wales procured a one-year licence for access to the Thomson Reuters law collection 2026–2027. The service covers IDS Employment Law on Westlaw, the Kemp Bundle on Westlaw, Kemp Commentary Quantum, Practical Law, Westlaw Topics covering all titles in Topics, and Westlaw UK Academic. This is a legal advisory and information service delivered through subscription access, for use across the university’s South Wales locations. The purchasing organisation is the University of South Wales, a Welsh public authority based in Pontypridd. The requirement is therefore suited to providers of online legal research, professional legal content and academic law information services, rather than general legal advisers or suppliers of physical library materials.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to THOMSON REUTERS (PROFESSIONAL) UK LIMITED. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award covers one lot and was evaluated through that direct-award route. The award is active and the contract was signed on 1 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a gross value of £47,966.40. The contract status is active. This outcome identifies a single selected supplier for the full law-collection licence. The procurement was classified as services, combining legal advisory and information services with subscription services. The requirement was awarded under the legal basis recorded for the procedure.

This award demonstrates a university requirement for authoritative, specialist legal content delivered through a managed online subscription. Suppliers well placed to compete when this type of requirement returns would need a substantial legal information catalogue covering employment law, legal commentary, practical guidance, legal research topics and academic materials. They would also need the licensing and account-management capability to provide institution-wide access across a university’s South Wales locations, with reliable availability for academic and professional users. The named collection indicates that breadth of content and integration across multiple legal research products are important to this buyer. Competitors offering comparable legal databases, specialist publishing platforms or alternative academic law information services can use the requirement as evidence of demand for a consolidated annual licence rather than separate small purchases.
