This contract is specifically within the services category, focusing on IT services including consulting, software development, and support. The procurement was conducted using a direct method, meaning it was awarded to a single supplier without open competition. The tender process began on 5th January 2025, and the contract was signed on 5th September 2025. The awarded amount totals £31,050 and is intended to support the redevelopment of the library's main web platform, ensuring it remains stable, secure, and responsive. This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with competencies in cloud-based solutions and ongoing platform support. Although this contract was directly awarded to Storm ID Ltd, Edinburgh-based businesses with expertise in digital services would be well-suited for similar opportunities in the future. Companies offering adaptable support services and innovative solutions for web development and hosting can benefit from partnering with public institutions such as the National Library of Scotland, leveraging their skills to meet the dynamic needs of top-end clients. ## Notice The National Library of Scotland (NLS) is redeveloping its main web platform (www.nls.uk). We are looking for a combined hosting and support service for this website. This package will include the management of a secure, cloud-based hosting environment alongside an adaptable support service that enables iterative development and ongoing improvement. The supplier will work closely with NLS to ensure the platform remains stable, secure and responsive to organisational and user needs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY530109 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | The contract is awarded to a single supplier without competition. | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 May 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 May 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £31,050 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL LIBRARY OF SCOTLAND | | Additional buyers | ANGUS COUNCIL; CHILDREN'S HEARINGS SCOTLAND; EAST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL; FIFE COLLEGE; FIFE COUNCIL; FORESTRY AND LAND SCOTLAND; LHC PROCUREMENT GROUP FOR THE SCOTTISH PROCUREMENT ALLIANCE (SPA); MUIRHOUSE HOUSING ASSOCIATION; NHS GRAMPIAN; NHS GREATER GLASGOW AND CLYDE; NORTH EAST SCOTLAND COLLEGE; PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL; REGISTERS OF SCOTLAND; SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL; SCOTTISH ENTERPRISE; SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT; SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT- SASA; SCOTTISH POLICE AUTHORITY; THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL; UHI EXECUTIVE OFFICE; UNIVERSITY OF STRATHCLYDE | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 8LU | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 42 | | Supplier names | ARCADIS; ARCO; ARTSCAPE GARDENS; ATKINSREALIS; BECHTLE DIRECT; BURNS CONSTRUCTION (ABERDEEN; COPTRZ; CR CONTRACTING NORTH; CURRIE & BROWN; DELOITTE; DELSON CONTRACTS; DENNIS EAGLE; EDENRED (UK GROUP; GIBB & BEVERIDGE ENGINEERING AGENCIES; GLEN SHURAIG CONSULTING; GROWTH FLAG (PART OF GC INSIGHT; HARBOUR MULTI-TRADES; HARPER MACLEOD; HARVEY NASH; HILLCREST FUTURES; HYMANS ROBERTSON; IRVINE CIVIL ENGINEERING; JML CONTRACTS; KINTO; LION SAFETY (SMI SCOTLAND; LORIEN RESOURCING; MACLIN ELECTRIC; MEHLER VARIO SYSTEM; NOTTINGHAM REHAB; REPUBLIC OF MEDIA; ROV SCOTLAND; RS FLEET INSTALLATIONS LTD T/A RS CONNECT; STAND; STORM ID; STREAMTEC; THE LINES BETWEEN; THORNTONS LAW; TOPSPEED COURIERS; TREKA BUS; VENESKY BROWN; VENESKY-BROWN RECRUITMENT; ZENITH PROPERTY CONSERVATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 12 May 2025 at 13:50 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY530109 ## Notice URLs - http://fife.ac.uk - http://https://forestryandland.gov.scot - http://https://www.uhi.ac.uk - http://www.angus.gov.uk/ - http://www.chscotland.gov.uk/ - http://www.eastdunbarton.gov.uk - http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk - http://www.fife.gov.uk - http://www.muirhouseha.org.uk - http://www.nhsggc.scot/about-us/procurement/ - http://www.nhsgrampian.org - http://www.nls.uk - http://www.pkc.gov.uk - http://www.ros.gov.uk - http://www.scotborders.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - http://www.scottish-enterprise.com/ - http://www.scottishprocurement.scot - http://www.spa.police.uk - http://www.strath.ac.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
