    Brief

    WGSN Ltd is the sole supplier of this library subscription database, which has been utilized by the university since 2009. The resource is fully integrated into the curriculum of Art and Design courses. This is a subscription renewal for an existing service. The supplier has been selected on the basis of the established relationship with the university and the embedded nature of the resource within teaching programmes. The contract value is below £207,720.00 including VAT, which is the tendering threshold specified under UK Government PA2023 regulations. This procurement represents a continuation of an existing arrangement rather than a competitive tender process.
