Covidence Subscription for Evidence Synthesis

The organization seeks a commercial, off-the-shelf web-based platform subscription to support evidence synthesis projects, including systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and other structured literature reviews. The platform must offer a collaborative, cloud-based environment enabling researchers, clinicians, librarians, and trainees to efficiently import, screen, extract, and synthesize research evidence.

Required features include support for multi-user collaboration, transparent study selection workflows, and structured data extraction processes to facilitate rigorous and reproducible evidence synthesis. The solution should also provide expert-led training and support at all stages of the evidence synthesis process, along with a method for self-registration accounts for VA staff and secure single sign-on access for staff both onsite and remotely.

Vendors must provide medical center-specific repositories for projects, administrative dashboards for oversight, and a system for manual user management. Additional requirements include a dedicated account manager, provision of customized webinars and marketing materials, expansive utilization statistics, in-app user feedback surveys for leadership, and priority support from evidence synthesis experts with rapid response times.
