## Summary

The University of Sheffield is seeking a one-year renewal for its annual subscription to the Ex Libris Alma and Leganto systems, with a total contract value of £131,056. The procurement, classified under the CPV code for library management systems, has completed its tender phase, ending on 19 June 2021. The contract period commenced on 20 June 2021 and will conclude on 19 June 2022. This process was conducted as a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract was awarded to Ex Libris (UK) Limited, with the award notice published on 11 October 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) involved in library management and related IT systems. Businesses that specialise in library management software, systems integration, and the provision of subscription-based services would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts, as the procurement process indicates a preference for established suppliers under existing framework arrangements.

## Notice

The University is a user of Ex Libris Alma and Leganto systems and sought a one year extension to its existing licenses. A direct award was available under the APUC ITS1028AP Library Systems Framewrok Agreement
