Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) seeking to establish a Framework Agreement on behalf of the NHS and Health Education England. This initiative, titled "NICE Electronic and Print Framework," aims to identify providers of medical and healthcare content resources and related services to meet the needs of purchasing authorities throughout England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, having been publicly announced on 24 May 2017, with a completion date set for 6 September 2019. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the delivery addresses specified include the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and healthcare content services, as appointed providers will gain access to a framework that eliminates the need for full competitive tendering. Firms such as publishers, agents, and booksellers that can deliver a diverse range of content resources would be well-suited to compete. The framework supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), enabling them to contribute effectively in a market with stringent technical and service requirements, and benefit from pricing models that align with NHS standards.
