Summary of the contracting process

Digital Health & Care Wales, a public authority operating under Welsh devolved regulations, has awarded a direct contract to John Wiley & Sons for providing national access to "The Royal Marsden Manual Online (RMM)" and "The Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) Manual of Children and Young People’s Nursing Practices." This procurement is crucial for ensuring that NHS Wales staff have secure access to up-to-date clinical guidance across all care settings. Located in Cardiff, with the process completed in February 2026, the contract is set to commence on 23rd March 2026 and extend until 31st March 2029, with the possibility of renewal. The procurement, focusing on IT and community services, involved a direct award method, reflecting its unique sourcing requirements.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, especially for enterprises that specialise in healthcare IT services, consulting, and support. The direct award to John Wiley & Sons, a large enterprise known for its specialised resources, signifies the importance and exclusivity of these digital manuals within Wales's healthcare setting. Companies with expertise in providing institutional access to evidence-based medical practices or similar specialised digital resources would find this tender valuable for future collaboration. The focus on a comprehensive, single-supplier resource for nursing best practices suggests that businesses capable of delivering tailored, expert-authored content could leverage similar opportunities in public sector procurement.

Notice Title

The Royal Marsden Manual Online (RMM) and The Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) Manual of Children and Young People's Nursing Practices

Notice Description

The contract ensures continued national access to the Royal Marsden Manual Online (RMM), providing NHS Wales staff with secure, up-to-date clinical guidance across all care settings. RMM, developed by clinical nurse experts at the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, is the only comprehensive digital resource for standardised adult nursing procedures and is available exclusively through institutional online access. Access to the Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) Manual of Children and Young People's Nursing Practices is also included. With over 300 evidence-based paediatric procedures, it complements RMM for organisations delivering care to both adults and children. NHS Wales currently holds a 7-month subscription to GOSH, ending February 2026. Both RMM and GOSH are nationally important, expert-authored resources that support consistent, evidence-based nursing practice across NHS Wales. Local or individual purchasing is neither practical nor cost-effective, and loss of access would remove two key tools embedded in Welsh nursing practice. The current RMM licence expires on 22 March 2026. Without renewal, staff would need to rely on physical library resources, increasing costs and reducing timely access to essential clinical information.
