This opportunity falls under the services category and involves the development and maintenance of a library software package. The tender's closing date for submissions is 8th April 2024. The contract period is set to begin on 3rd December 2024 and last until 2nd December 2028, providing a long-term partnership opportunity for interested businesses. This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specializing in library software development services and related areas. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. As the procurement method details are labelled as 'Other', potential bidders should carefully review the requirements outlined by The London School of Economics and Political Science to tailor their proposals accordingly and enhance their competitiveness in securing this contract. ## Notice LSE Digital Library is a valued asset of the LSE Library, providing digital stewardship and presentation of unique source material for enquiry-based learning, research practice and original research both within the School and beyond. It is the platform that enables access to a growing selection of material drawn from LSE Library holdings, whilst storing its digital assets in a digital preservation environment that ensures file integrity and security. Digital assets and their metadata are uploaded to the system and managed by Digital Library Team and Archives & Special Collections Team staff. The current Digital Library System solution contains c.36,000 digital objects, approximately 12TB in preservation storage, and 1.5TB of access copy storage, compiled over the last 7-8 years, primarily from digitisation of LSE Library holdings. There are strategic ambitions to scale up LSE's in-house digitisation, upload more multi-media files, and born-digital records, so expect to increase the Digital Library's size by approximately 5-8TB over the next 4 years. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7dc3493b-7d0c-4d14-98eb-a3790760e1e3 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Mar 2024 | | Submission deadline | 8 Apr 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Dec 2024 - 2 Dec 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC2A 2AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 48160000 - Library software package - 72212160 - Library software development services - 92511000 - Library services ## Release History - 20 Mar 2024 at 09:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7dc3493b-7d0c-4d14-98eb-a3790760e1e3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7dc3493b-7d0c-4d14-98eb-a3790760e1e3 20th March 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=79014&B=LSE Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/97212 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.lse.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
