## Summary

The University of the West of England bought printed copies of the White Book with online access in a bulk order for its CBL – BTC Core Module for the 2026–27 academic year. This is a books and educational publishing supply requirement, rather than a works or service contract. The buyer is based in Bristol, and delivery was within the United Kingdom. The purchase combines physical textbooks with digital access, so the requirement concerns supplying both formats for the same academic use.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to THOMSON REUTERS (PROFESSIONAL) UK LIMITED. The university used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and ran from 24 to 25 July 2026. Its value was £99,036 excluding VAT (£118,843.20 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the bulk supply of the books and online access. The published details do not give an award date or state evaluation criteria; the procurement was conducted without a competitive evaluation.

This award shows that the university buys bulk academic textbooks with online access for a named core module. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to source and deliver the specified print edition in bulk and provide the associated digital access. The award went to a specialist professional information supplier, demonstrating that a provider able to supply both formats is relevant to this purchasing need. The requirement is a focused educational publishing supply, rather than a broad library-services contract; businesses whose offer covers only print or only digital access may be less well matched to the demonstrated scope.
