The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with key dates including the tender period ending on 8th May 2018 and the contract period commencing on 1st June 2018 and concluding on 31st March 2019. The procurement location encompasses various regions, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories, with a total estimated value of £10,000.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their business in consultancy services, particularly those focused on digital resource management and improvement of user experience in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

HEE directly and indirectly invests in digital evidence and knowledge resources for the NHS in England, and in the infrastructure which enables access and management of these resources, at national, regional and local level. In a changing digital landscape, there is scope to modernise and streamline this digital resource access and support infrastructure, to improve both user experience and return on investment. The audit of NHS library and knowledge services in England undertaken by Ciber Ltd in 2016 made several recommendations in relation to digital knowledge resources, including: procurement of a national discovery engine, tendering for a national library management system, and establishing a central unit for management of digital resources.
