Summary of the contracting process

Digital Health and Care Wales has awarded a contract titled "Evidence Summaries" in the services category, specifically focusing on library services. Based in Cardiff, the buying organisation sought access to evidence summaries over a two-year period with an extension option of an additional twelve months. The Invitation to Tender (ITT) was issued through the NICE Electronic and Print Content Framework, Lot 5 for databases and evidence summaries, with the aim of ensuring continuity of service for NHS Wales staff. The award was made on 9th December 2024, and the contracting authority is currently in the award stage of the procurement process. The key dates for this process include the contract signing date of 9th December 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in providing evidence summaries and library services. Companies with robust databases, comprehensive evidence summaries, and those experienced in servicing healthcare sectors would find a competitive edge in this procurement process. The ongoing requirement for up-to-date evidence summaries by NHS Wales indicates a steady demand, promising consistent business growth for suppliers who can deliver high-quality services. Such an opportunity is particularly suited for established vendors like Bmj Publishing Group Limited, which has already been awarded this contract.
