Tender description

In order for health and care professionals to deliver high quality care, the information needs to be available in the right place, to the right people.

This contract is for the provision of forty-eight (48) electronic journals (including collections), a total of one thousand and fifty-one (1,051) resources. A mini competition was undertaken via the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (“NICE”) Electronic and Print Content Framework, Lot 4 for Print and Electronic Journals (NICE FAHEE/2125). The contract is underpinned by the Terms and Conditions of the NICE Electronic and Print Content Framework HSCC Licence Agreement.
