## Summary

The University of Worcester procured access to Lexis Plus Academic Library, a key resource for its Law School. This is a specialist legal information and academic library service, classified under educational software development services. The requirement supports legal education and research for the university. Delivery is in Worcester, where the University of Worcester is based. The procurement is for services rather than goods, construction or general consultancy. Suppliers relevant to this requirement would provide authoritative legal research content, academic library resources or software-enabled access for law students and teaching staff. The buyer is a sub-central public authority and the requirement is focused on its own Law School’s resource needs.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to RELX (UK) Limited trading as LexisNexis. The award was made on 21 July 2026, following a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and has a value of £40,310. It runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2027, with two possible 12-month extensions, allowing it to continue until 16 August 2029. The award and contract are active, while the overall tender is complete. One lot was awarded, covering the Lexis Plus Academic Library service for the University of Worcester’s Law School.

This award shows established demand from the University of Worcester for a specialist legal research and academic library platform supporting a Law School. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide reliable legal information content in an education-focused service, with software-enabled access suitable for students, teaching staff and academic research. The successful supplier was a large specialist provider, indicating that breadth and authority of legal resources, a dependable digital platform and the capacity to support an institutional user base are commercially relevant. Suppliers should also understand university library and law-school requirements, including sustained service delivery, user access and the operational support expected for an academic resource.
