The procurement process is centred in Boston Spa, England, with a title of "000863 RFI - ECM system." This market consultation is aimed at gathering insights on pricing, hosting models, and licensing structures, with an engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018. While this is a prior information notice (PIN) rather than a tender opportunity, it serves to inform the procurement pathway for the subsequent procurement stages. This opportunity presents a significant growth potential for businesses specialising in content management software. Firms with capabilities in providing ECM systems or implementation services would be particularly well-suited to participate. The British Library is inviting potential suppliers to engage in discussions and share insights that could influence the final procurement strategy, making it an attractive avenue for businesses looking to establish or expand their footprint in the public sector contracting space. ## Notice The British Library is seeking to purchase a broad featured ECM system, as well an implementation partner to assist with its installation, configuration, and roll-out over 12-18 months in two substantial pilot projects. The purpose of this RFI is to establish indicative pricing, hosting models, licensing structures, and procurement routes, so as to allow the Library to seek bids that most closely match the Library's needs in the most efficient way possible. When submitting information, all organisations should note that this is not currently a tender opportunity, but is part of a market consultation exercise aiming to ensure that the procurement route selected and the options ultimately developed for the procurement are properly informed.
