VWS-HIS-EVO License Agreement for use of DSM-5
The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) is seeking a license agreement to gain access to the DSM-5 code list. The assignment concerns the delivery of a software license and is exclusively available to one selected party capable of meeting both technical and legal requirements. The procedure is a negotiated procedure without publication, meaning the tender is not publicly announced and selection takes place based on pre-established criteria. The license must comply with Dutch laws and regulations, including GDPR, and must enable VWS to integrate the DSM-5 codes into their HIS and EVO systems. The agreement includes usage rights, maintenance, support, and a clear definition of the duration and termination conditions. The contracting authority expects rapid delivery, clear pricing, and exclusive access to the code list.
