## Summary

The University of the West of England bought a renewal of Oxford University Press’s Law Trove ETXT Collection for the 2026–27 period. The requirement is classified as goods and concerns periodicals, supporting access to the relevant Oxford University Press collection for the university. Delivery is to the university’s operations in Bristol, at its Frenchay Campus. Oxford University Press is the selected supplier and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. This requirement is relevant to publishers, academic content providers and suppliers able to provide or manage legal periodical and electronic text collections for higher education institutions. The procurement is specific to the University of the West of England rather than a wider multi-buyer arrangement, and the named collection is Law Trove.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of the West of England used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for a single lot. Oxford University Press was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £68,372.74 excluding VAT, or £82,047.29 including VAT. The contract is active. The purchase was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the recorded procurement category is goods. The arrangement renews the Law Trove ETXT Collection for the stated 2026–27 period and covers the periodicals requirement delivered for the university.

This award shows established demand from the University of the West of England for a continuing Law Trove collection supplied by a specialist academic publisher. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need relevant legal publishing or academic content capability, access to periodical and electronic text collections, and the operational capacity to maintain institutional access throughout a university contract. Suppliers should be able to support higher-education users with dependable collection management and renewal administration, while demonstrating that their content is suitable for legal study and research. The procurement also indicates that this buyer has used a direct, below-threshold route for this requirement, so a supplier’s understanding of the university’s specific collection needs and ability to provide a straightforward continuation service would be commercially relevant.
