The NHS in England is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement which identifies the providers of medical and healthcare related published content, products and services.
The Framework Agreement will list the providers and agreements from whom the NHS and its partners can purchase with confidence and without the need for full competitive tendering. Potential providers are invited to bid for one or more content categories to include; print and electronic journals and books; databases and aggregated evidence summaries resources.
Interested parties can find further information and instructions in the OJEU notice published on Tenders Electronic Direct at http://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:352379-2011:TEXT:EN:HTML
The NHS in England is responsible for commissioning, planning, delivering, managing and evaluating healthcare; and for promoting public health. Its core functions include patient care, education and research. A complex organisation comprising many separate bodies, it seeks to work in partnership with other organisations to fulfil its objectives.
To support these objectives, the organisations that make up the NHS, and their partners, invest a significant amount in information resources. It is seen to be vital to ensure that this investment of taxpayers' funds delivers value for money, not only for individual organisations, but for the NHS as a whole. The aims is to ensure that the diverse, dispersed and specialist staff groups engaged in health and social care have access to the information resources they need, at the point they need them.
