This initiative is focused on the information technology industry, specifically targeting database and data services, and is based in Boston Spa, Wetherby, England. A key milestone is set for 23rd February 2018, which marks the end of the engagement period for interested parties to submit their input regarding identity management solutions. This Request for Information (RFI) presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in identity management and customer experience enhancement. Companies with expertise in technologies and services related to access management, identity verification, or relevant software solutions would be particularly well-suited to participate in this market consultation. Engaging in this procurement process could allow such businesses to influence future decisions and potentially secure contracts with the British Library as they seek to improve user engagement through better identity management solutions. ## Notice A recent study in August 2015 identified 19 different services within the Library that require registration. Since then the Library has introduced new services that require registration, for example Membership, Online shop. The overall result, following detailed analysis, was that of a poor customer experience and subsequent single customer view being harder to accomplish than it should be. Hence this RFI is intended to identify how Identity Management, Access Management and Identity Verification products in the market place can help us both manage identity better but also improve the customer interaction with the Library. We need to know what technologies and/or services might be suitable, what the likely costs of their implementation might be. When submitting information, all organisations should note that this is not currently a tender opportunity, but is part of a market consultation exercise aiming to ensure that the procurement route selected and the options ultimately developed for the procurement are properly informed. The British Library is inviting potential providers to comment and informally discuss options and possible business Solutions. At this stage, no final decision has been taken on the precise procurement route to be followed.
