Kortext and Health Education England are pleased to announce that following a tender process using the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Framework Agreement, Kortext has been awarded a contract to provide eBooks for NHS library services in England.

The contract will enable library services to collaborate to create collections of eBooks which the NHS staff they serve will be able to access on personal bookshelves and download onto their devices.

Helen Bingham, who leads the HEE Knowledge for Healthcare Resource Discovery workstream, said

With the Covid-19 pandemic, we have seen increased demand for eBooks. We were seeking a provider who could offer the NHS a practical, flexible, cost-effective model and we are delighted to have selected Kortext and we look forward to working with their team over the months ahead.

James Gray, CEO and Founder of Kortext, said

The entire NHS has been under strain as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. This has highlighted how healthcare staff can be better supported through digital access to content both on the ward and whilst working remotely. Users will be able to access content both online and offline and Kortext will be working closely with the HEE to shape the future delivery of their service.
