## Summary

The procurement process entitled "The Cochrane Library and Wiley Online Library" was conducted by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for research and development services in the health sector, categorised under the CPV code 73000000. The procurement was completed, having reached the award stage on 1st February 2013, with a contract period commencing on 1st May 2013 and concluding on 30th April 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare and research, particularly those offering consultancy services related to systematic reviews and healthcare interventions. Large organisations like Wiley, who were awarded the contract, are well-positioned to compete, but there may also be fertile ground for innovative firms that can demonstrate strong capabilities in health information delivery and evidence-based decision support. Engaging in similar future tenders may enable such businesses to expand their influence and service offerings in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

The Cochrane Collaboration (www.cochrane.org) is an international, non-profit organisation that prepares, publishes and disseminates up-to-date systematic reviews (Cochrane Reviews) on the effects of healthcare interventions in order to help people make well-informed decisions. Currently more than 28,000 people (researchers, healthcare professionals of all disciplines, policy makers and members of the public) based in more than 100 countries participate in this non-profit, global initiative, including over 10,000 contributors in the United Kingdom. The Cochrane Library is a collection of six databases, including The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, containing high-quality evidence to inform healthcare decision-making, and a seventh database that provides information about the different entities within the Cochrane Collaboration. The databases within The Cochrane Library provide information and evidence to support decisions taken in health care and inform those receiving care. For example, The Cochrane Library can be searched for a particular topic or disease and will return results containing information on clinical trials, Cochrane Reviews, non-Cochrane systematic reviews, methods studies, technology assessments and economic evaluations related to that topic or disease. In addition the search results will contain all Cochrane entities with an interest in that area, thereby providing a wealth of resources and access to collaborators, mentors, referees and experts.
