## Summary

The University of Cumbria is conducting an open procurement process for the provision of an Online Reading List System, classified under library software package services. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 19 February 2018. This tender aims to replace the existing Reading List System to enhance the student library experience and integrate with the university's current resources. The contract is expected to commence on 1 June 2018 and will run until 31 July 2021, with delivery addresses located in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in library management systems and software development to expand their market presence. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative solutions that ensure seamless access to educational resources for both on-campus and remote students would be particularly well-suited to compete. Providers who can integrate their systems effectively with existing resources while maximising workflow efficiencies are likely to find success in this procurement process.

## Notice

The University is seeking to replace our existing Reading List System to exploit new technologies; to maximise potential efficiencies in workflows and processes; to ensure rapid, seamless delivery of content to students and to enhance the student's library experience. The University currently uses rebus:list version 1 (from PTFS Europe / CLA & Kortext) to manage delivery and maintenance of reading lists. The system is openly available at https://cumbria.rebuslist.com/ The University has made major investment in our physical and electronic library resources, systems and services and it is essential that the Reading List System is able to integrate with the University's existing environment to get optimal return on our investment. We require an online reading list system which will provide students on and off campus with seamless access to a variety of resources, electronic, print and physical both held by the Library and available elsewhere. Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
