## Summary

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College is buying a 12-month Bloomberg subscription and access to Bloomberg terminals. This is a financial information service for use by the college, rather than a general-purpose software or IT supply. The requirement is for subscription services, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, based in Egham, Surrey. The requirement is presented as a single package covering the subscription and terminals.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bloomberg Finance L.P. on 7 October 2026. The award is recorded as pending. The contract period runs from 24 October 2026 to 4 October 2027, for 12 months. The award value is £201,597 excluding VAT (£241,916 including VAT). The buyer used a direct award, stating that Bloomberg is the sole supplier for this service. The requirement was organised as one lot. No separate evaluation criteria are stated; the direct award rationale is sole-supplier status.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, this award indicates demand for a specialist financial information subscription combined with access to terminals. Bloomberg was selected on the basis that it was the sole supplier, so a competitor would need to demonstrate that it can provide the required Bloomberg service, rather than offer general financial data or standard IT equipment. The combined requirement points to a supplier able to arrange and support both subscription access and terminal provision as one service. The buyer purchased this as a single package, favouring a provider able to meet the full requirement rather than separate suppliers for the subscription and terminals."
