Summary of the contracting process

The National Library of Scotland, located in Edinburgh (George IV Bridge, EH1 1EW), is currently in the planning stage for a procurement exercise to acquire a Cloud Based Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). This system is intended to include service desk capabilities and must be compatible with tablet devices and able to seamlessly integrate with SFG20 via API. The Library's current contract for a similar system (ShireSystem’s cloud-based Pirana) will end in May 2025, and a new CMMS system is anticipated to commence by March 2025, running for a period of 5 to 10 years. The procurement exercise is part of the Recreation, Culture, and Religion industry category and aims to demonstrate commercial "Best Value" and positive working relationships.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in cloud-based maintenance management software, particularly those capable of providing systems that integrate smoothly with existing standards such as SFG20. Companies offering innovative solutions, particularly those with expertise in service desk capabilities and tablet compatibility, stand to benefit. The National Library is currently seeking feedback from the industry to identify best practices and refine their procurement strategy, fostering a competitive and accommodating tender environment. Engagement in this process allows businesses to influence the tender strategy and tailor offerings to meet the Library’s specific needs, potentially securing a long-term contract valued at approximately £150,000 GBP.
