This procurement, classified under the Library Management System category (CPV code 48161000), is in the tender stage and will close on 24th June 2019. The estimated contract value is £640,000, with a minimum expected value of £570,000. The contract is anticipated to commence on 2nd September 2019 and will run until 1st September 2025, with delivery required in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, offering equal opportunity for interested parties to submit their proposals. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in information and communication technology services, particularly those offering Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions. Companies capable of providing a robust library management system that caters to the specific needs of both councils will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as the council has indicated a suitability for SME participation, potentially fostering business growth within the local and regional sectors. ## Notice The Library Management System (LMS) is the main ICT system used by Gloucestershire County Council ("GCC") and Swindon Borough Council ("SBC") to deliver statutory Library Services within their defined remits and localities. Each authority's incumbent system manages millions of transactions each year via the LMS and cannot operate efficiently without optimised LMS in place. The overall purpose of the LMS is to store, process and manage all stock and customer data regarding transactions, membership and ordering and presently manages the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) processed for stock from ordering to quotes and receipt confirmation. The Supplier System shall enable each authority to deliver an LMS solution via Software as a Service and is a managed solution maintained by the Supplier. The Supplier System must allow GCC and SBC to operate separately with different policies and distinct configurations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a0178819-41a0-4d81-a7b6-3725e30ce290 | | 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 | 11 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 24 Jun 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Sep 2019 - 1 Sep 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £640,000 | | 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 | GLOUCESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | GLOUCESTER | | Post town | Gloucester | | Postcode | GL1 2TG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK73 Gloucestershire CC | | Local authority | Gloucester | | Electoral ward | Westgate | | Westminster constituency | Gloucester | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48161000 - Library management system ## Release History - 11 Jun 2019 at 13:26 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a0178819-41a0-4d81-a7b6-3725e30ce290 - 3 May 2019 at 15:47 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/80fbc707-ab4d-4131-aa5a-ab017397634c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a0178819-41a0-4d81-a7b6-3725e30ce290 11th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/80fbc707-ab4d-4131-aa5a-ab017397634c 3rd May 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
