## Summary

The University of South Wales procured continued institutional access to Oxford University Press’s Law Trove Complete Law Collection, including Criminology and Criminal Justice. The online collection contains more than 200 essential legal textbooks spanning multiple areas of law. It supports teaching and learning through unlimited concurrent access, enhanced search and linking, accessibility features and usage analytics. This is a database service for the university community, rather than a purchase of printed books. Delivery covers the university’s locations in Cardiff, Swansea and Pontypridd.

The procurement is complete and was directly awarded to Oxford University Press without competition, using a below-threshold route. The award is active and the contract was signed on 24 September 2026. The contract runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 August 2029 and is valued at £66,146.85 including tax. There was one lot, covering the continued access service. The stated requirement focuses on an established collection of legal and criminology textbooks and the digital platform’s access, search, linking, accessibility and analytics functions. The published procurement details do not set out a competitive evaluation or supplier selection criteria; the award was made directly to the existing publisher for continued access.

For suppliers assessing future demand from the University of South Wales, this award shows a requirement for institution-wide digital access to a substantial, specialist legal textbook collection, including criminology and criminal justice. A credible competitor would need rights to supply relevant academic content across several areas of law, plus a platform capable of supporting unlimited concurrent users. Search and linking tools, accessibility features and usage analytics formed part of the service, so content alone would not match the requirement. The selection of the publisher for continued access indicates the value of an established collection and continuity with the existing platform. Suppliers in academic publishing or library e-resource provision with comparable content breadth and institutional-scale delivery are the closest fit.
