UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, focused on awarding a contract for the Cochrane Library Content through the Wiley Online Library. This contract, classified under the service category 'Library services' with CPV code 92511000, is targeted at the health and care sector. Located in Manchester, UK, the procurement reached the award stage on 12 May 2025, with the contract set to commence on 16 May 2025 and run until 30 April 2027. The contract, valued at £624,000 gross, was awarded through a direct procurement method due to the supplier John Wiley & Sons Limited holding exclusive intellectual property rights. This was a direct award, aimed at ensuring continued access to the library services under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for large enterprises able to deliver specialised library services or who have similar exclusive rights, by partnering with organisations like the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Given that the procurement method was a direct award based on intellectual property rights, companies with proprietary content or technology that add strategic advantage would be well-positioned for similar opportunities in future tenders. Furthermore, businesses operating in the health and care industry could benefit by expanding their offerings to include pivotal resources required by public authorities, thus fostering long-term collaborations.
