Copyright licence renewals for photocopying and scanning of publications for educational purposes (CLA)

Tender description

Copyright licence renewal for photocopying and scanning of publications for educational purposes (CLA). Lot 1: The University requires an annual Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) Higher Education Licence to enable the lawful photocopying, scanning, digital reproduction, storage, communication, and sharing of extracts from copyright‑protected works for teaching, learning and research. The CLA is the UK‑government‑recognised collective rights management body authorised to issue licences permitting the reuse of text and images from books, journals, magazines and digital publications. This licence is essential for higher education institutions, as it provides the legal permissions needed to copy material from a wide range of UK and international publishers and rights‑holders. Without a valid CLA licence, staff and students would be unable to lawfully reproduce copyrighted content required to support course delivery, academic study, and research activity.
