This project aims to implement a comprehensive Library Services Platform that integrates various library functions. The tender is in the active stage, with responses required by 26th September 2018. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st December 2018 and will run until 31st August 2024. The prospective vendor should be able to deliver the solution at the university’s Norwich Research Park in the East of England, with a budget of approximately £900,000. This procurement presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in library management systems, software development, and consultancy services. Businesses with expertise in integrating complex software solutions, particularly those capable of managing library operations and data flows, will find this tender especially relevant. Engaging in this contract can enhance visibility within the educational sector and foster long-term partnerships with a prestigious institution like the University of East Anglia. ## Notice The University of East Anglia requires a Library Services Platform (LSP) for the Library with integrated management of all functions specified (discovery, electronic resource management, acquisitions, metadata management, circulation, inventory, management information, user management, financial management) and full data flows ensuring data is only ever entered once in support of all functions. The platform will replace the current main suite of management and discovery software: the Aleph Library Management System, SFX Link Resolver and potentially the EBSCO Discovery Service. The Library Management System and Discovery web interface will need to be installed and commissioned during a period when fewer students are on campus. The Library Team has identified the summer break of 2019 (15th June to 22nd September 2019) as the most suitable time. The system will need to be fully operational by 31st August 2019.
