## Summary

Cornwall Council commissioned services to upgrade all of its library kiosks to Windows 11, improving their security and functionality. The requirement covers information technology services, including software-related work, technical support and associated implementation activity. Delivery applies across Cornwall’s library kiosk estate. Cornwall Council is the public-sector buyer, based in Truro. The named supplier, Bibliotheca Ltd, is an SME headquartered in Stockport and specialises in library technology. This is a council-wide library technology requirement rather than a general desktop upgrade, so businesses with experience of public-facing library systems, kiosk environments or comparable managed technology estates are the most relevant competitors when similar work is next considered.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Bibliotheca Ltd without competition under a below-threshold route. The award was made on 14 June 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active, with a period from 8 September 2026 to 31 October 2026 and a maximum extension date of 13 November 2026. Its value is £23,350 excluding VAT and £28,020 including VAT. Cornwall Council stated that renewal is possible, linked to the end of Windows 10 support and a potential month for upgrading after the final patch. The award covers one completed lot and the evaluation outcome was the direct appointment of the named supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined demand from Cornwall Council for coordinated operating-system upgrades across a dispersed library kiosk estate. A credible future competitor would need to plan and deliver Windows 11 migrations at scale, maintain continuity for public-facing kiosk services, and address both security and functionality outcomes. Relevant capability includes software deployment, endpoint configuration, testing, troubleshooting and post-upgrade technical support, particularly where systems are used by library visitors and staff. Suppliers with library technology experience or an established understanding of kiosk platforms would be well placed. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large systems integrator. Experience managing upgrades around patching and support-end dates would also strengthen a competitor’s position.
