How you translate 'études' will depend on what business the company is in; 'research [reports]' would be typical, but who knows? Or you could just fudge it with '[other] bought-in goods and services'. Does it matter?

Previous proz query Yes, I did run a search, however I didn't get any hits because the accent was missing from "études" in the previous query :-(
Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction though, much appreciated!
