## Summary

Cardiff University procured specialist online learning resources for its Solicitor’s Practice Course. The requirement falls within e-learning services and supports the university’s delivery of specialist legal education. The buying organisation is Cardiff University, based at Park Place in Cardiff. The service is delivered online, so suppliers with digital learning content, platforms or related educational resource provision are relevant. The scope is focused on resources for a professional legal training course rather than general university teaching or broad training services. Oxford University Press was selected as the supplier, indicating that the requirement was met by an established educational content provider with relevant online learning resources.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and awarded to Oxford University Press. The gross contract value is £132,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with a maximum extent to 31 August 2029. Renewal is available through a rolling extension. The procurement comprised one completed lot covering the Solicitor’s Practice Course and its specialist online learning resources. The recorded award is active and the contract is active. The outcome shows that Cardiff University used a direct route for this below-threshold specialist e-learning requirement.

For suppliers that did not win this contract, the award provides a clear indication of Cardiff University’s demand for specialist digital resources supporting solicitor training. Competitors would need a credible portfolio of online learning content relevant to professional legal education, together with the ability to provide reliable resources for university learners and staff. The selected supplier’s profile suggests that recognised educational publishing and established subject expertise are commercially relevant to this requirement. Providers competing when a similar requirement returns would therefore benefit from demonstrating authoritative legal content, effective online delivery and experience supplying structured learning resources to higher education institutions. The opportunity is most relevant to specialist educational publishers and e-learning providers rather than general training companies.
