## Summary

Bath Spa University procured access to the Law Trove platform for the 2026/27 academic year. This is a digital legal-learning resource for higher education, supplied by Oxford University Press. The procurement is categorised as higher education services (CPV 80300000). The service is for Bath Spa University, with delivery recorded in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and Oxford University Press was selected through a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its gross value is £38,997. The procurement was managed as a single lot. The published information identifies no separate evaluation basis or eligibility requirements.

For publishers and providers of digital legal-learning resources, this award shows Bath Spa University's demand for platform access serving higher education. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to offer relevant legal education content through a platform suitable for university use, and be able to provide access across the required academic period. Oxford University Press, a large publisher, was selected by direct award; suppliers should therefore be prepared to demonstrate a clear fit with the university's Law Trove requirement and the capacity to deliver the resource at institutional scale. The procurement provides a reference point for the type of supplier and specialist digital content bought, rather than an opportunity to bid on this completed contract.
