    Brief

    The University is renewing its subscription to Oxford Law Trove, a digital database providing access to legal textbooks, journals and academic content essential for teaching, learning and research in the Law School. This contract is being awarded directly to Oxford University Press under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 (Direct Award in Special Cases) because Oxford University Press holds exclusive intellectual property rights and copyright to the specific content within this database. No other supplier can legally provide equivalent access to the same materials. The subscription is critical for maintaining curriculum delivery, supporting student learning outcomes and protecting the University's reputation. The estimated contract value is £228,000 (excluding VAT) over 48 months, including potential renewals. The University reserves the right to terminate or renew the subscription at its discretion. No risks have been identified.
