Summary of the contracting process

The National Library of Scotland is currently in the contract award stage for the provision of full design, editing, and production services for its customer magazine titled "Discover NLS". The procurement process, initiated through a limited tender type without prior publication, encompasses the services category and is focused on Edinburgh, UK. The contract period is set from 1st June 2020 to 31st December 2020, with a contract value of £132,345. Important dates include the modification announcement made on 15th May 2020 and the contract signing date of 5th February 2020.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in design, editing, and publishing services, particularly smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies capable of adapting to changing project requirements, as demonstrated by the need to modify the contract due to the COVID-19 pandemic, would be well-suited to compete. The ongoing relationship with Connect Publications (Scotland) Ltd for this service indicates strong potential for other suppliers to demonstrate their capabilities in providing high-quality publications, thereby enabling growth through strategic partnerships with public organisations like the National Library of Scotland.

The existing contract is between the National Library of Scotland and Connect Publications, commencing on 1 July 2015. Since then the Library has undergone an internal publications review. It has agreed to consolidate publications and significantly reduce their number.
