## Summary

Digital Health and Care Wales has awarded a contract for the "CLA Plus Licence" to the Copyright Licensing Agency. The procurement process was for software copyright consultancy services aimed at enabling legal copying of NHS Wales material. The contract value is £1,634,607, signed on 2nd November 2022, following a limited procurement method without prior publication.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses providing software copyright consultancy services to engage with Digital Health and Care Wales.

Businesses in the services sector, particularly those involved in digital rights management and copyright compliance, could benefit from engaging with similar future tenders within this industry category.

## Notice

Digital Health and Care Wales have responsibility for the administration of an agreement with the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) which enables all staff employed by NHS Wales, hospice workers, health and care students and social care workers, to legally make copies of various NHS Wales owned material from both the NHS Wales e-Library and physical library services. The Licence allows users to freely photocopy, scan and print from digital books, printed books, magazines, journals and websites, without having the need to ask for permission from copyright owners each time. The requirement for the Copyright Licensing Agency Licence Plus is driven by UK legislation, in which it is a legal requirement for any kind of library service to have to ensure users are not infringing copyright.
