## Summary

The University of the West of England bought library books through standing orders under the title “LexisNexis 26-27 Books”. This is a goods requirement for supplying books to support the university’s library service. The buyer is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The selected supplier, LexisNexis Risk Solutions UK Limited, is based in Cardiff and is recorded as an SME. The requirement is focused on the supply of library books rather than consultancy, digital services, construction or other works. It may be relevant to booksellers, academic and professional publishing distributors, library suppliers and businesses able to manage institutional standing-order arrangements for a university customer.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The university used a direct procedure below the applicable threshold and without competition. One lot was completed, with the award made to LexisNexis Risk Solutions UK Limited. The award is active and was dated 15 August 2026. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 15 August to 16 August 2026. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. The contract is below threshold. The outcome shows that the university selected a named supplier through a non-competitive route, rather than assessing competing tenders against published quality and price criteria. The procurement concerns one completed library-books requirement.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers serving university libraries with books and standing-order supply. A credible competitor would need reliable access to library-book stock, strong fulfilment and ordering processes, and the capacity to manage an institutional customer’s recurring requirements accurately. Experience supplying academic or professional titles, handling bibliographic or purchase-order data, and delivering consistently to a university environment would strengthen a future proposition. Suppliers should also understand how to operate within below-threshold public procurement routes and respond to direct purchasing requirements where the buyer has an established source. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that this type of requirement can be served by a specialist or smaller business, rather than only by a large national distributor.
