This project falls within the industry category of software services and is based in London, UK. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 6th December 2021. The contract will be awarded shortly thereafter, with an anticipated start date of 1st January 2022 and a duration of up to three months to complete by the end of April 2022, with a minimum contract value of £25,000 and a maximum value of £50,000. The procurement will follow an open procedure, suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those with expertise in secure access systems and compliance with accessibility legislation. Companies that can enhance the current open-source tools to improve the accessibility of Non-Print Legal Deposit materials would be particularly well-positioned to compete. With the British Library's consideration of SMEs in the selection process, this is a prime opportunity for smaller firms to engage in substantial public procurement and contribute innovative solutions to meet the Library's evolving needs. ## Notice The British Library leads the implementation of Non-Print Legal Deposit in partnership with the UK Legal Deposit Libraries. We work with publishers to collect this material, through direct document acquisition and though the UK Web Archive (which aims to preserve the large volume of works published in the United Kingdom and made available on the World Wide Web). The Library is inviting potential service and software providers to extend the existing open source tools and provide specialist guidance to help us build and deploy an improved secure access system for Non-Print Legal Deposit (NPLD) material. Our current on-site access system is secured by only allowing readers to view items via remote desktop connections. However, this solution does not meet reader needs and does not allow us to meet the requirements of accessibility legislation. We have designed an alternative solution that makes NPLD content more accessible while maintaining the security of the material. The scope of this contract is to implement, refine and deliver the new solution, based on the specification in this ITT. The duration of the Contract will be up to a maximum of 3 months from Contract Award, and the work must be completed and delivered before the end of April 2022. A 7 day notice period will apply. Any optional extensions beyond the final agreed initial Contract period will be subject to negotiation and agreement between the parties. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd08ef72-e69b-4ee6-8a9e-7314d8334d4e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 6 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2022 - 30 Apr 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 BRITISH LIBRARY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 2DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | St Pancras & Somers Town | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48100000 - Industry specific software package ## Release History - 17 Nov 2021 at 12:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd08ef72-e69b-4ee6-8a9e-7314d8334d4e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cd08ef72-e69b-4ee6-8a9e-7314d8334d4e 17th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=644119092 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
