## Summary

The procurement process conducted by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) focused on securing the Cochrane Library Content for use through the Wiley Online Library. This contract falls under the services category, specifically aimed at library services (CPV code: 92511000). The process was a direct award, due to the supplier, John Wiley & Sons Limited, holding exclusive rights to the intellectual property. The contract, valued at £624,000 gross, was concluded in Manchester, UK, with contract obligations starting on 13 May 2025 and set to end on 30 April 2027. The award stage was marked “pending,” with the procurement process marked as complete on 12 May 2025.

This procurement provides business growth opportunities notably for large enterprises with unique intellectual property that match the strategic requirements of public sector bodies. Companies that can provide specialised, copyrighted content or proprietary services similar to the Cochrane Library content would find themselves well-placed to pursue such direct award contracts. The direct procurement method underscores the importance of holding exclusive rights or niche offerings that directly align with the needs of central government authorities like NICE.
