Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council has successfully completed a procurement process for a Library Management System, with an award date of 5th August 2026. The contract was awarded under the CCS Framework Agreement (Ref: RM6259 Lot 4 – Citizen Services) and falls under the industry category of software supply services. The awarded contract, valued annually at £33,618.94, covers services from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2026. Notably, the procurement method used was limited, specifically a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition. The buyer, Hull City Council, is a regional authority located in Hull (UKE11), which emphasizes public services within the area.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specializing in software supply, particularly those capable of providing robust library management systems. With Sirsi Limited, trading as SirsiDynix, already awarded the contract, other small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the region could still find potential partnerships or future opportunities by engaging with the council's framework agreements. This contract highlights a demand for innovative solutions in the public services sector, inviting similar businesses to explore further public tenders that fall within or outside current frameworks to bolster their portfolios and market presence.
