Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council procured a library management system as a software supply service. The requirement covers provision of the system supporting the council’s library service, delivered within the Hull city boundary. The buying organisation is Hull City Council, a local authority. The procurement was made through the Crown Commercial Service RM6259 Framework Agreement, Lot 4 for citizen services. The classification is library management system and software supply services. This is a technology services opportunity for suppliers providing library management platforms, implementation or ongoing software provision to local government library services. The selected supplier was Sirsi Limited trading as SirsiDynix, indicating that the requirement was met by a specialist library-management software provider.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure: a direct award under the RM6259 framework, without a prior call for competition. The award date was 5 August 2026, to Sirsi Limited trading as SirsiDynix. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and is active. The service period runs from 1 December 2025 to 30 November 2026, with an option described for a further year. The stated annual value is £33,618.94, while the total value including the extension option is £69,570.19. Evaluation was based on price. One bid was recorded. The tender’s sole lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active.

This award is commercially relevant to suppliers of library management systems seeking local-authority work, particularly businesses able to provide established software through a public-sector framework. The requirement demonstrates demand for a specialist platform rather than general IT support, and shows that Hull City Council used a direct framework award for this service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a reliable library-management system, experience supporting public library operations and the ability to meet council procurement and service requirements through an appropriate framework route. The award to an SME-sized specialist supplier also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused technology business, not only by a large systems integrator.
