Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Library RFID" project, initiated by Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council, has reached the award stage with the status marked as complete. This contract, within the industry category of 'Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages', has an estimated value of £60,000. The tender was conducted using an open procedure, and it pertains to the delivery of goods across England, United Kingdom. Key dates include the tender period ending on 23rd January 2025, with the contract period spanning from 1st March 2025 to 28th February 2027. The procurement award was announced on 12th May 2025, with Bibliotheca being selected as the supplier.

This tender presents substantial business opportunities by tapping into the need for sophisticated library RFID systems, making it highly suitable for large-scale firms with expertise in office and computing machinery. While SMEs and VCSEs were not the focus of this procurement, companies that specialize in supplying high-tech equipment and have the capability to deliver across the UK, particularly those already possessing experience in library technologies, could benefit significantly from such contracts. Engaging in tenders like this can drive business growth by enhancing market presence and establishing long-term partnerships with large public sector clients such as the Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council.
