Notice Title

001215 RFI Public Lending Right System Development and Support

Notice Description

Public Lending Right (PLR) is the system by which payment is made from government funds to authors, illustrators and other contributors whose books are borrowed from public libraries. The Library is seeking information to assist in system development and support of a PLR Solution, to manage the processes of populating and managing a register of interests detailing individuals' contributions in published books, audiobooks and eBooks, collecting and processing detailed borrowing data from public libraries to determine the payments due for registered interests, and handling all associated interactions with users throughout these processes. The solution we are seeking must provide assurance, enabling us to demonstrate compliance with PLR legislation in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, technologies used will integrate with the library's strategic systems and processes, and must be extensible. The library is seeking potential suppliers who are able to assist with the refinement of business requirements and who are willing to work collaboratively to agree and deliver a solution which supports on-going business change and the transition to PLR's target operating model. We need to know what technologies and/or services might be suitable, together with indicative costs of proposals, development, support and maintenance. The Library is therefore inviting potential vendors to provide information on the potential options available around System Development and Support for a Public Lending Right Solution. This RFI is being undertaken as part of the Public Lending Right Review project. It forms part of our work in market discovery and analysis to help with setting out the future requirements of the Library. The information gathered under this RFI may be used to evaluate potential suppliers and products to produce a shortlist for invitation to tender or procurement via a government framework agreement.
