## Summary

City of Doncaster Council procured an online access licence and subscription for BSI technical documents and an online knowledge library. The service is required by the council’s Place Directorate, giving departmental users access to technical information provided by Allium UK Holding Limited, trading as Accuris. This is a digital information and subscription service rather than a physical works or goods requirement. It falls within IT services, including internet and support services (CPV 72000000). Delivery is for the council’s activities in Doncaster, within the United Kingdom. Businesses relevant to this requirement are providers of standards, technical-document libraries, subscription-based professional information services or comparable online knowledge platforms that can support departmental access to authoritative technical content.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. City of Doncaster Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the legal basis identified as 2023/54. There was one completed lot. The contract was awarded to Allium UK Holding Limited. The contract was signed on 30 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £39,466.32 excluding VAT, or £47,359.58 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the decision to use a below-threshold direct award without competition, rather than through a competitive tender with published quality and price weightings.

This award demonstrates an established council requirement for paid online access to BSI technical documents and a broader technical knowledge library. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would have a reliable digital platform, rights to provide the relevant standards and technical content, and the ability to manage subscription access for public-sector departments. Credibility would also depend on maintaining authoritative, current documents, supporting user access and resolving service issues over the contract term. Providers of technical standards information, professional research libraries, specialist compliance content or comparable subscription services should treat the council as a clear reference customer for this type of digital information service. The scale is a single-department subscription rather than a major technology implementation.
