Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council is inviting proposals for an "8 Year Open multi-Supplier framework" concerning the Library Refit Services Framework, which aims to deliver uplift, refit, redesign, and furniture restocking services for libraries across Warwickshire. This project falls under the services category and is being conducted as an open procurement process. The framework is expected to include a minimum of three and a maximum of five suppliers. The estimated contract value is £10,000,000 GBP, with a tender submission deadline set for 17th July 2026, and a contract commencement date of 1st October 2026. The framework agreement will remain active until 1st October 2034, with reopenings in the third and sixth years.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses involved in library services, furniture provisioning, and refurbishment to secure a long-term contract with a major local authority. Companies providing innovative, durable designs with flexibility for varied community events will find this opportunity particularly appealing, as Warwickshire County Council seeks partners who can enhance library usage and meet diverse community needs. Businesses adept in delivering projects with proven experience in public sector library refits are deemed well-suited to compete, potentially benefiting from subsequent competitions or direct awards throughout the framework’s duration.

WCC - Library Refit Services Framework

Notice Description

The County Council is seeking to develop an 8 Year Open multi-Supplier framework to procure uplift, refit, re-design & furniture restocking of Warwickshire libraries, as-and-when required. Warwickshire County Council's (WCCs) operates through a network of 18 statutory libraries which are directly managed by the County Council. The process aims to onboard a number of providers to create an approved framework supplier list. It is hope that this will enable greater choice, versatility and competition. This Framework is not divided into lots. A minimum of 3 suppliers and maximum of 5 suppliers will be added to the framework. To tender for future opportunities, Framework Suppliers will be invited to participate in further-competition processes. The council intends to run further competition processes in which to select a supplier to deliver each Library project via the framework, however where the council (at its sole discretion) considers the use of a specific supplier from the framework is beneficial for consistency/continuity purposes (e.g additional goods from the same supplier that completed the original work) then the council reserves the right to procure via direct award to that supplier directly without competition. We are seeking Suppliers who offer expertise in design flare, innovation whilst being, durable and safe. Suppliers who can provide flexible layouts for varied events in which to meet Warwickshire diverse community needs & increase Library usage across the County. Suppliers who offer value for money through experience and design. We are inviting library Uplift/Refit/furnishing providers who can evidence at least three public sector organisations library Uplifts/Refits/refurnishing projects.
