Opportunity overview

Digital Health & Care Wales has awarded a contract for continued access to the Cochrane Library Database, a unique and proprietary evidence-based resource used extensively by healthcare professionals, researchers, and the public across NHS Wales. The Cochrane Library is exclusively owned by Cochrane and distributed solely by the publisher John Wiley & Sons Ltd. No reasonable alternative or substitute exists. Loss of access would significantly impact clinical decision-making, research support, operational library services, and public access to reliable, high-quality healthcare evidence.
