Summary of the contracting process

Digital Health & Care Wales, based in Cardiff, has awarded a contract to John Wiley & Sons for the digital services related to "The Royal Marsden Manual Online (RMM) and The Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) Manual of Children and Young People's Nursing Practices". This project falls within the IT services industry category and involves key delivery within the United Kingdom, specifically, the region UKL. The procurement process was a direct award owing to Wiley being the sole supplier capable of providing secure online access to these critical nursing resources. The contract, which is active as of 23 March 2026, will support NHS Wales by providing timely clinical guidance and ensuring consistent evidence-based nursing practices, running until 31 March 2029 with options for extensions up to 2030.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in digital resource management and support services to enhance their market presence by working with reputed healthcare organisations. Though the procurement was a direct award to Wiley, it highlights an arena for businesses to understand the critical demands of organisations such as NHS Wales and potentially position themselves for future collaborations. Large enterprises, especially those focusing on digital innovation, service availability, and user education in the healthcare sector, would be well-suited to participate in similar procurement processes. Moreover, understanding the intricacies of exclusive service provisions could be beneficial for businesses intending to develop specialised digital solutions for the healthcare industry.
