## Summary

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), located in Manchester, UK, initiated a selective procurement process to acquire Medline, EMBASE, Emcare, and HMIC bibliographic databases for NHS services in England. The procurement, classified under the services industry as publications, was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award stage was recently completed, with WOLTERS KLUWER HEALTH (MEDICAL RESEARCH) LIMITED, an SME, selected as the supplier. The contract is valued at £2,157,424.55, covering the period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2027.

This procurement process presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in providing bibliographic databases and associated services. Suppliers with expertise in database provision, particularly those familiar with healthcare systems like the NHS, are well-positioned to benefit from similar tenders. The selective method indicates potential prerequisites for participation, ensuring suppliers possess specific qualifications or experience. The collaboration between NICE and an SME highlights opportunities for smaller scale businesses to engage in significant contracts within the health services sector in the UK.
