State Wide Subscriptions 2021 with Vendors

Resources & Infrastructure 2020

The budget for 2019 to 2020 is around $1.6 million.  2020 prices shown are not confirmed as renewals were only begun in December 2010 at conclusion of the tender.

Tender completed in December 2019 - HSS302017 Tender for the provision of online clinical information resources to the WA Health system  - covers state-wide purchases and the purchases of individual HSPs.

HSS20195000 - Springer Nature - Exemption - Springer Nature withdrew from the tender so an exemption from tender was required.

IBM Micromedex - from 2020 all modules available across WA Health (builds on existing subscriptions for additional modules subscribed to by E/SMHS - Interaction Checking, NeoFax, Pediatrics, PCH - NeoFax, Pediatrics, SCGH - Alternative Medicine and KEMH - Neofax, Pediatrics).

WAHLiN libraries agreed to bear the costs for SFX renewals directly (instead of from the state-wide budget).  E/SMHS already paid SFX directely as it is bundled with the MetaLib / Primo charges from Ex Libris.
