Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council has awarded a contract for the renewal of their Library Services, focusing on a library management system along with related support and maintenance services. This procurement, which falls under the general public services category, saw its contract awarded on 23 October 2024. The location for the services is primarily Livingston, within the region UKM78. The procurement method employed was a direct award through the YPO 1095 Software Applications Solutions Framework Lot 7, bypassing the need for prior publication due to the unavailability of suitable tenders under open procedures.

This contract presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in digital library management systems, particularly those offering services such as digital management, recording, acquisitions, cataloguing, inventory management, and membership management. The awarded supplier, Sirsi Limited (trading as SirsiDynix), exemplifies the scale and expertise required. Companies that possess robust capabilities in software applications solutions and extensive experience in servicing public sector clients would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts.
