## Summary

The procurement process for the "NCA Practical Law Subscription" involves the Scottish Government, based in Edinburgh, as the buying organisation. This contract falls under the industry category of general public services and education. It is a completed tender for an online subscription service, with the procurement stage being at the award phase. The contract, valued at £40,992.40, was awarded on 19th August 2025 to Thomson Reuters, a large-scale supplier based in London. The procurement method was limited, with an award executed without prior publication, justified by the unique nature of the service offered by a single supplier.

This tender presents business growth opportunities particularly for large-scale businesses capable of providing unique or specialised services that can secure non-competitive tenders. Businesses in the legal and educational sectors, with a focus on subscription services, would find such opportunities accessible, albeit rare, given the limited procurement method and the specific approval required, as demonstrated by this NCA-approved contract. The location constraint within the UK suggests the possibility for local businesses to engage more competitively in similar future procurements.
