Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow Caledonian University has awarded a contract to Ex Libris UK Ltd. for the provision of a Library Management System (LMS) and Reading List Management System (RLMS). The procurement process, initiated through an open procedure, falls under the education industry category and is pertinent to the Glasgow region, specifically at Glasgow Caledonian University's premises. The LMS and Discovery Layer element of the contract stemmed from a desktop evaluation process under Lot 1 of the APUC Library Management Systems & Associated Services Framework Agreement (ITS1028 AP), while the RLMS element resulted from a direct award under Lot 2 of the same framework. The contract, valued at £362,241.35, was signed on 6 November 2024 and has since achieved the 'complete' status, with the award notice published on 20 December 2024.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale companies specialising in library management technologies and associated services. Businesses capable of delivering comprehensive library management and reading list system solutions would find this project particularly advantageous, given the enhancement and integration requirements set forth by the university. Additionally, suppliers with a proven track record in the educational sector and familiarity with public procurement frameworks such as APUC's offerings are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders, capitalising on the university's commitment to leveraging advanced library management systems.
