## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, a prestigious educational institution located in Glasgow, UKM82, has awarded a contract for the provision of LexisNexis Electronic Databases and E-Journals. This contract falls under the Education industry category as per the COFOG classification, and it follows a procurement process that was initiated without prior publication due to the protection of exclusive rights. The award stage has been completed, with the contract becoming active on 4th September 2024, valued at £195,000. This limited procurement method was determined by the specific circumstances outlined under Regulation 6 of The Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for LexisNexis, as it solidifies its exclusive position to deliver specialised electronic research resources within the sector. While the procurement was directly awarded, thereby limiting competition, firms that can offer unique, intellectual property-protected resources such as databases and e-journals may find similar opportunities in working with academic institutions. Businesses focusing on digital publishing, information technology services, or educational technology solutions could explore the potential for similar engagements by showcasing their specialised capabilities to contracting authorities across the education industry.
