## Summary

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College bought library stock publications and related hard-copy materials for its university library. The requirement covers printed publications and other physical library materials, including maps, music scores, DVDs and CDs. The main category is printed books, brochures and leaflets (CPV 22100000). Delivery is for Royal Holloway University of London in Egham, serving the South East of England. The procurement was awarded to EBSCO International Inc. through the SUPC Library Books, e-Books and Associated Services framework, reference LIB4061. This is a goods requirement focused on supplying a broad range of physical library resources rather than library staffing, systems or facilities management.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Royal Holloway and Bedford New College selected EBSCO International Inc. The award was made on 14 September 2026 for £300,000. The contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026. The route was recorded as an other procurement method and the requirement was placed through the SUPC Library Books, e-Books and Associated Services framework, LIB4061. The published scope covers print publications and other hard materials, including maps, music scores, DVDs and CDs. The recorded award is active, and the procurement itself is complete.

This award shows sustained university demand for a comprehensive library-supplies service covering printed publications and a varied range of physical media and specialist materials. A credible competitor for this requirement would need reliable access to books and other print stock, together with the ability to source and supply maps, music scores, DVDs and CDs as a coordinated service. Strong catalogue coverage, dependable fulfilment, stock management and distribution to a university library would be important capabilities. The route also shows that suppliers seeking comparable work with Royal Holloway should understand the SUPC library-books, e-books and associated-services framework and be able to operate within its purchasing arrangements. The scale suits an established library supplier with broad product reach and operational capacity.
