## Summary

The Cardiff Council has awarded a contract to D-Tech for the project "Amplifying Prevention and Support through Bibliotherapy". The procurement process was initiated as a tender, and the contract was signed on 5th January 2024. This project falls under the services category and involves the installation of vending machines for library books in health settings provided by Cardiff Libraries and C&VUHB, allowing patients to access therapeutic resources. The contract offers business opportunities in vending machines, repair, and system maintenance services.

Businesses in the vending machine, repair, and maintenance services sectors are well-suited to compete for this contract. With a focus on community well-being, this opportunity allows businesses to engage in a strategic partnership with the Health Board and Cardiff Libraries to expand their customer reach. The Cardiff Council sees this contract as an avenue to add value to existing services and reach a more diverse customer base, including those from ethnic minority communities.

## Notice

The Hub strategy brings together Council services and other agencies working towards the wellbeing of the community. This approach has provided an opportunity for the library service to work with a wide range of partners. The overall vision for delivery has brought all services together working towards the achievement of wellbeing goals for citizens . One of the key partnerships that has been solidified since the launch of the strategy has been with C&VUHB with the launch of joint projects, health programmes and more recently joint buildings as evidenced by Capel i Bawb at Cardiff Royal Infirmary which amalgamates library services into the health offer at this facility and the launch of Wellbeing Hub @ Maelfa.The project brings together Cardiff Libraries with C&VUHB to widen access to therapeutic resources and library services. Library book vending machines will be made available to patients in health settings in order that they can better manage their own health and wellbeing. Patients will be able to access the books 24 hours a day using their library card and return them to either the machine or their local library.The strategic nature of the partnership with the Health Board provides an opportunity to Cardiff Hubs and Libraries Service including:-- Access to new customers for wider library services- Extended reach into a wider variety of customers who may not have considered library membership or services including those from ethnic minority communities- The ability to add value for existing customers in adding another outlet for accessing library resources- The ability to benefit from the trusted brand of the Health Board which will provide increased integrity to the health focused collections that will be provided.
