## Summary

The University of Chichester initiated a public procurement process to acquire a Library Management System, within the industry category of library management systems. Located at Bishop Otter Campus, Chichester, the institution operates as a sub-central government public authority. The procurement initially started in the planning stage with a market engagement notice published on 17th April 2025. Key procurement stages included liaising with the current system provider and participating in a CILIP showcase, scheduled to conclude by 1st June 2025. However, the tender process was later noted as withdrawn, as indicated by a tender cancellation notice published on 11th November 2025.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses specialising in library systems, particularly those providing acquisitions, circulation, inter-library loans, e-resource management, and metadata services. Notably, the procurement was suitable for SMEs, fostering business growth for smaller enterprises capable of meeting the University’s needs. Although the tender was ultimately withdrawn, the detailed service requirements—covering support and maintenance in line with contractual obligations—highlighted potential avenues for businesses to later re-engage or adapt their offerings in anticipation of similar future opportunities.
