Summary of the contracting process

Kirklees Council has completed a procurement process for the "Library RFID Kiosks Support & Maintenance" services under the industry category of system and support services. This process, concluded on 28th April 2026, was an award stage and involved the procurement of services through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement is set to ensure the continued operation of RFID self-service kiosks and related software within Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, valued at £66,659.40. The contract period is scheduled from 30th June 2026 to 29th June 2029, offering continued support and maintenance for library RFID systems.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for service providers specialising in RFID technology and library operations support. Ideal competitors for similar opportunities could include firms that offer system and support services, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as they are suited to benefit from such procurement activities. The direct award via the ESPO framework suggests that businesses with established relationships or previous involvement with this framework may find potential in similar procurement pathways. Engaging in such contracts can expand a service provider's portfolio and enhance their presence in public sector contracts.
