This award demonstrates NHS England's demand for a library management system serving NHS-hosted knowledge and library services across England. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement should be able to provide and support software suited to the operational needs of NHS knowledge and library services, with the capacity to serve users across England. The contract was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework, so access to an appropriate framework and the ability to compete through its call-off process are relevant commercial credentials. The buyer marked the procurement as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers could be credible competitors. Open Fifth Limited secured the award; competing providers would need to demonstrate that their system and delivery capability meet this NHS-wide service requirement.
