This procurement falls under the services category and pertains to library management services (CPV code 79995000), with a specific focus on library management systems. The process occurred without a prior call for competition, using a limited procurement method. The award was signed on 1st August 2024, for a value of £87,315.89. The procurement was directed at the UK region, specifically involving the classification scheme under Directive 32014L0024.

This tender presents growth opportunities specifically for organisations working within the library management system sector, particularly those already engaging in direct provision services. The awarded contract went to the Copyright Licensing Agency Ltd, a large-scale organisation, indicating opportunities may be better suited for providers with significant resources or niche expertise in copyright licensing and management services. Businesses with experience in educational services and working within public law bodies, like universities, may find particular value in establishing partnerships or preparing for similar procurement processes in the future.
