## Summary

The Bradford Metropolitan District Council is initiating a procurement process for a Library Management System (LMS), continuing an existing contract with Capita Business Services Limited for one year, with the option for a further extension of 12 months. This contract, valued at £48,600, encompasses support and maintenance as well as subscription services for the Talis Alto LMS. The procurement process is in the award stage, with the contract period starting on 25 June 2019 and ending on 24 June 2020, following a tender period that concluded on 3 June 2019. The LMS is critical for library operations within the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom and falls under the IT services category.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software and IT services, particularly those with capabilities in library management systems and ongoing support solutions. Companies that can offer innovative upgrades or enhanced functionalities to existing systems may find a competitive advantage. Additionally, businesses capable of collaborating in the potential upcoming regional procurement for a new LMS would be well-positioned to expand their market presence in the public sector.

## Notice

This is a VEAT notice to notify the market that Bradford Council will continue with this contract with Capita Business Services Limited for 1 year with the option to extend for a further 12 months.This contract covers support & maintenance and subscription of the Talis Alto Library Management System (LMS) for the library computers. The LMS was put in place in 2008 when the Counci's IT Services was outsourced. A full tendering and procurement exercise was carried out at the time. The contract was novated to the Council late 2015 when the outsourced contract ended and IT Services was brought back in-house. The current LMS continues to be fit for purpose with bespoke solutions put in place over the years. However, a collaborative approval to a regional procurement for a LMS is progressing and this approach will be given consideration once complete.
