This opportunity falls under the library services industry category and is located in London, UK. The procurement is currently at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 30th August 2018. The contract, valued between £700,000 and £750,000, is set to commence in early November 2018 and will span a two-year term, with potential extensions upon agreement. Suppliers are encouraged to review the detailed project documentation, including the Prequalification Questionnaire, which is a prerequisite for bidding. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in library services, archiving, and information management to expand their operations within the educational sector. Companies with expertise in metadata reclassification and those capable of delivering a comprehensive service—including both offsite and onsite work—will be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this project not only promises substantial financial reward but also enhances visibility and credibility for suppliers within the higher education market. Suppliers are advised to attend the Supplier Engagement Day on 18th July 2018, where they can gain further insights and network with the procurement team. ## Notice The University of London is proud to offer a real opportunity for an experienced and suitably qualified Supplier to provide Library Reclassification Services for Senate House Library. In 2017 the University of London Senate House Library embarked upon a Modernisation Programme. Part of this programme is the re-classification of our Modern Open Access Book Collection, from Bliss Classification (and other re-classification schemes) into a mainstream Library of Congress classification. This will allow us to present our stock in a classification system that makes sense to our users and also allows us to take advantage of shelf-ready acquisition on a large-scale. The number of items to be re-classified is approximately 530,000. The Contract will be awarded by the result of a competitive tender, for a 2 year term: * Contract Title Library Reclassification Services * Contract Term 2 years or 24 months * Extension Possibility to extend the contract term if required, upon agreement * Estimated aggregate contract value PS700,000 - PS750,000 for the 2 year term * Contract start date Early November 2018 We are looking for a skilled, knowledgeable and experienced Supplier who can provide a "beginning to end" service for this project. We anticipate that this work would involve two distinct elements: the re-classification of metadata (done offsite) and the on-site work where the Library stock is re-labelled and then re-shelved. More information about the Library and the tender can be found in the attached contract and tender overview document. Suppliers who wish to bid for this contract must first successfully complete a Prequalification Questionnaire; this is attached, along with completion instructions. The full project plan with milestone dates and the Contract Specification will be published on this site in due course. Additional information: All interested Suppliers are encouraged to attend a Supplier Engagement Day that will provide more information about the Contract to be awarded. Suppliers can also meet the University of London Library and Procurement Team members who are working on this project. There will also be the opportunity to ask questions about the tender and Contract. The date and time below has been allocated for the Supplier Engagement Day and Suppliers are strongly encouraged to attend; if you cannot you should send a deputy who can take notes and ask questions: Tender for Library Reclassification Services for Senate House Library Supplier Engagement Day & Tour of Senate House Library 18 July 2018 10:00am - 11:30pm University of London The Durning Lawrence Library, Fourth Floor Senate House Malet Street London WC1E 7HU (Map to Senate House) Suppliers please contact Stephen.regalado@london.ac.uk in the University of London Procurement Team to confirm your attendance. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/830d06d9-eacd-477a-a7c7-ce6f87bfff33 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | 30 Aug 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2018 - 30 Oct 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £700,000 | | 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 UNIVERSITY OF LONDON | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC1E 7HU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92511000 - Library services ## Release History - 30 Aug 2018 at 10:07 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/830d06d9-eacd-477a-a7c7-ce6f87bfff33 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/830d06d9-eacd-477a-a7c7-ce6f87bfff33 30th August 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c7445603-bef7-4174-8fb4-137c5819072a Prequalification Questionnaire - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/921f8b1a-8eef-4974-8c93-1a30055faf2b Library Reclassification Tender & Contract Overview ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
