Some of the content in the Evidence Services is only available via subscription, licensing or purchase; in these circumstances the content is procured through a formal procurement process. Otherwise NICE does not pay an organisation for their content, and will not cover a content provider's cost in ensuring their content is in an appropriate format for inclusion in Evidence Search.
