Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council procured a library management system as a software service for its library operations. The requirement covers the supply of a system that supports the management of library services, classified as a library management system (CPV 48161000), with associated software supply services (CPV 72268000). Delivery is for Hull City Council in Hull, within Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Hull City Council. The service is a services procurement rather than a goods or construction requirement. The selected supplier is Sirsi Limited trading as SirsiDynix, a large software provider specialising in library management systems.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 5 August 2026 to Sirsi Limited trading as SirsiDynix. It used a direct award through the CCS Framework Agreement RM6259, Lot 4 for Citizen Services, rather than an open competition. The award value is £33,618 in GBP for the initial year. The contract runs from 1 December 2025 to 30 November 2026, with an option to extend for a further year. The total contract value including that extension option is £69,570.19. The procurement was evaluated through the framework’s direct-award route. The published tender record gives an annual value of £33,618.94. The contract is recorded as active.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for a council library management system and identifies the scale and procurement route used by Hull City Council. Suppliers best placed for comparable future requirements would be established library technology businesses able to provide, maintain and support specialist library management software for a public-sector library service. Credibility would come from a proven product aligned with library workflows, reliable service delivery and the organisational capacity to support a council contract. Experience of public-sector procurement and access to an appropriate framework, or the ability to meet framework route requirements, would be important. Larger specialist suppliers may be particularly well placed, as the selected provider is recorded as large.
