Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is currently undertaking a tender process for the "Provision of Self Service Solution (LOT 1) and Self Access Solution (LOT 2)" aimed at enhancing library services through the implementation of an RFID system across up to 17 library sites within Leicester. This open procurement method allows for participation from all interested suppliers, with the tender period ending on 20th November 2020. The contract is valued at £530,000 and encompasses services classified under the software package and information systems category, with the contract period expected to run from 31st March 2021 to 30th August 2028.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in software solutions, library services technology, and RFID systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, given the Council's focus on innovation and pilot projects for self-service technology. Successful suppliers will not only have the prospect of securing this initial contract but may also benefit from future expansion opportunities should the pilot project prove beneficial in broader library applications.
