    Brief

    The University of Essex seeks to procure a three-year subscription to Oxford Law Trove, a comprehensive legal research platform owned and operated exclusively by Oxford University Press. The subscription will provide access for the entire student population, commencing 1 September 2026. As a provider of law degree programs, the University must ensure staff and students have access to an extensive range of legal materials and resources. Electronic access to this content is essential, allowing users to access legal materials conveniently outside physical library hours. Oxford Law Trove contains unique legal content for which Oxford University Press holds all intellectual property rights, making this a single-source procurement. Qualified suppliers interested in providing this subscription service should contact the University with pricing and terms for the specified three-year period.
