## Summary

The procurement process, led by Birkbeck College, focuses on the provision of "Books, E-books, E-textbooks, and Associated Services" within the category of library books under CPV classification 22113000. Located in London, specifically at Malet Street, WC1E 7HX, the process utilised a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. This procurement, valued at £185,190, has reached the award stage as of 26th September 2025, with significant dates including the tender period ending on 7th August 2025, and the contract period stretching from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2026.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in publishing, digital resources, or educational services, especially SMEs, as the suitability criteria encourage participation from smaller enterprises. Suppliers such as Kortext Limited, awarded the contract, demonstrate the potential for businesses already interfacing with digital and educational platforms. The procurement not only demands a robust supply chain for traditional and digital book formats but also requires associated services, opening doors for ancillary service providers like logistics, digital platform maintenance, and content management firms to explore collaborative ventures.
