## Summary

The University of South Wales procured a three-year licence for access to Wolters Kluwer Health subscription services. The resources include Acland’s Video Atlas of Human Anatomy, the Bates Visual Guide covering all modules for the Learning Central Classroom, the Maternity & Infant Care Database and the MIDIRS Midwifery Digest. They support teaching and learning across chiropractic, sport, nursing, midwifery and allied healthcare subjects. This is a specialist educational content and digital subscription requirement rather than a general library supply. The buying organisation is the University of South Wales, based in Pontypridd, with delivery across its Welsh locations, including Pontypridd and other University of South Wales sites.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Wolters Kluwer Health (Medical Research) Ltd. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, for one lot. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £75,055.36 excluding VAT and £85,785.92 including VAT. The awarded service is classified as subscription services. The contract is active, while the tender itself is complete. The published outcome identifies Wolters Kluwer Health (Medical Research) Ltd as the selected supplier for the full subscription requirement.

This procurement shows continuing demand from the University of South Wales for licensed, specialist digital resources supporting healthcare and related teaching. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need to provide authoritative anatomy, clinical, maternity, infant-care and midwifery content through subscription access, with coverage suitable for several academic disciplines. Credibility would depend on controlling or representing the relevant content platforms and supporting institutional licensing for teaching and learning use. Experience serving universities or comparable education organisations would help demonstrate an understanding of multi-discipline academic requirements, access management and dependable delivery across several Welsh locations. The route used here also indicates that the buyer has previously sourced this requirement directly from an established specialist provider.
