## Summary

Oxford Brookes University procured MarketLine Advantage, an online library resource for use by its students and staff. The requirement covers access to a digital market intelligence and research database, classified as database services and market research services. The buying organisation is Oxford Brookes University, a public authority based in Oxford. The service is delivered for the university’s users in the United Kingdom. This is a subscription-style information service rather than a construction, physical supply or onsite operational contract. Businesses specialising in market intelligence platforms, commercial research databases, academic library resources or comparable online information services are the most relevant potential suppliers for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to Progressive Digital Media Ltd on 15 September 2026 and signed on the same date. The contract runs from 15 September 2026 to 2 September 2029. Its value is £66,090 excluding VAT, or £79,308 including VAT. One lot was awarded, and the contract remains active. The selected supplier is a large organisation. The published procurement information identifies the service classification and direct-award route, but does not set out a separate quality, price or technical scoring basis. The award concerns the MarketLine Advantage resource for Oxford Brookes University.

For businesses that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates continuing institutional demand for paid access to online market intelligence and research content within a university setting. A credible competitor for this buyer would need to provide a dependable digital database covering market research, with access arrangements suitable for both students and university staff. Relevant experience would include supplying comparable information platforms to academic or other institutional users, supporting user access throughout the service period and maintaining authoritative, usable research content. Providers with established market intelligence products, library-resource distribution capability or comparable database services are better placed than general IT or publishing suppliers without a research platform. The requirement also indicates a substantial, multi-year institutional subscription rather than a short-term information purchase.
