Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council procured digital hardware and related equipment for its library service. The requirement covers library software packages, library automation equipment and library furniture, combining digital systems with the physical equipment needed to support library operations. The main classification is library software, with additional classifications for automation equipment and furniture. The goods are intended for delivery across England. This is a supply opportunity rather than a works or service contract, and is relevant to suppliers of library technology, automation systems, associated hardware and specialist library furniture. Businesses able to provide a combined or coordinated range of these products would be particularly aligned with the scope bought by the council.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Liverpool City Council used a procedure recorded as “Other”. The tender deadline was 18 May 2026 at 6pm. The estimated procurement value was £181,118.70. The contract was awarded to D-Tech International Limited on 20 July 2026 for £181,118.70. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. The award is active. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The recorded outcome is a single award to D-Tech International Limited, covering the library digital hardware requirement for the council.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from Liverpool City Council for integrated library technology and supporting equipment. Suppliers considering future work with this buyer would need credible capability across library software, automation equipment and library furniture, or a reliable delivery model combining those specialisms. Experience of supplying library environments and coordinating different product types would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist businesses may be well placed where they can demonstrate dependable supply, implementation coordination and coverage across England. Competitors should be able to show that their products support practical library operations and that they can manage a requirement spanning digital systems, automation hardware and physical furnishings.
