Summary of the contracting process

The St Helens Council is currently engaged in the procurement process for the "Self-Serve Solution for St Helens Library Services." This initiative, classified under goods and IT services, aims to establish a self-service library within The World of Glass at Chalon Way East, St Helens, WA10 1BX. The open procurement method is being used, with the tender period ending on 13 February 2020. The total value of the contract is £70,000, and the contract period will run from 1 March 2020 to 28 February 2022. The notice for this tender was published on 24 January 2020, and it is currently in the award stage as of 11 March 2020.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in self-service technologies, library automation solutions, and IT support services to expand their market presence. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the council aims to integrate RFID-enabled self-service kiosks that would enhance the user experience at the library. The project aligns well with companies offering innovative computing and office machinery solutions, making it an ideal fit for those looking to collaborate with a local government entity on a community-driven initiative.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Self-Serve Solution for St Helens Library Services

Notice Description

St Helens Council is seeking to locate a new library within The World of Glass, Chalon Way East, St Helens, WA10 1BX on both the ground and first floors. The site currently accommodates a visitor attraction which celebrates both the Borough's glass heritage and wider social history. The priority is to establish a library within the current building footprint without any significant internal reconfiguration. On the ground floor, the Library will occupy a discrete area (circa 219m2). This space will accommodate a lending library and on the mezzanine level, a computer suite with printing facilities. Space in the building is at a premium and the ambition is to allow for spaces to be reconfigured to allow a variety of uses. St Helens Library Service does not currently have any self-service facilities and is looking to install an RFID-enabled self-service kiosk for St Helens Library users to check out and return books without library staff intervention.
