## Summary

The University of East Anglia is seeking suppliers for the "PURCON774 Library Management System Upgrade" as part of an open procurement process. This project falls under the software package and information systems category and is located in Norwich, East of England. The procurement has reached the award stage, with the contract period commencing on 11th December 2018 and concluding on 31st August 2024. Key dates include the tender period that ended on 10th October 2018, and the chosen installation timeframe has been identified during the summer break of 2019, specifically between 15th June and 22nd September 2019, to ensure minimal disruption to student activities.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in library management systems, software development, and integrated technology solutions. Companies that can provide comprehensive Library Services Platforms with capabilities in user and financial management, data integration, and resource acquisition would be particularly well-suited to compete. The awarded contract, valued at £900,000, indicates the potential for substantial business growth and the chance to establish long-term partnerships within the education sector.

## Notice

The University of East Anglia requires a Library Services Platform (LSP) for the Library with integrated management of all functions specified (discovery, electronic resource management, acquisitions, metadata management, circulation, inventory, management information, user management, financial management) and full data flows ensuring data is only ever entered once in support of all functions. The platform will replace the current main suite of management and discovery software: the Aleph Library Management System, SFX Link Resolver and potentially the EBSCO Discovery Service. The Library Management System and Discovery web interface will need to be installed and commissioned during a period when fewer students are on campus. The Library Team has identified the summer break of 2019 (15th June to 22nd September 2019) as the most suitable time. The system will need to be fully operational by 31st August 2019.
