Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council has completed a procurement process for purchasing multicultural books for the Library service in Sheffield. The procurement falls under the category of printed books, brochures and leaflets (CPV code 22100000), specifically library books. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with a total contract value of £30,000. The contract period begins on 13 February 2025 and ends on 12 February 2026. Key deadlines include the end of the tender period on 23 December 2024 and the award date on 13 February 2025. The delivery address is in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the printing and supply of books, particularly those that can provide a diverse range of materials for multicultural communities. Large-scale book suppliers like Star Books International, which won the contract, can contribute to the growth of their business by securing such public contracts. While this tender was awarded to a large supplier, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) might explore similar opportunities to supply specialised library content in the future. Businesses that can offer competitive prices and high-quality multicultural books will be well-suited to compete in this market.
