    Brief

    Carmarthenshire County Council is conducting preliminary market engagement to identify suitable providers of cloud-based online legal research and library subscription services for its in-house Legal Services team. This is an information-gathering exercise to explore the market and does not constitute a commitment to procure. The Council seeks a secure, comprehensive legal research platform providing access to UK legislation, retained EU law, case law, legal commentary, practical guidance, precedents, and legal reference materials. The service must support local authority lawyers delivering legal advice across diverse Council functions. Key requirements include: coverage of primary and secondary legislation from UK Parliament, Scottish Parliament, Northern Ireland Assembly, and Welsh Senedd; retained EU law; UK case law and tribunal decisions; practical guidance and authoritative commentary; legal encyclopaedias and reference books; and editable/downloadable precedents. Critically, the platform must reflect the latest legal position in Wales for devolved areas rather than providing English-centric content. The Council is particularly interested in integrated legal research platforms offering AI-assisted legal search, natural language searching, document analysis, alerts, saved searches, usage analytics, remote access, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, comprehensive onboarding, training, and ongoing account management support.
