Description

Provision of Library Management System (LMS) for the LibrariesWest Consortium. The Contracting Authorities are looking for a LMS including (but not restricted to) acquisitions, cataloguing, circulation, public interfaces, reporting, system management, and integration with third party systems.

• Bath & North East Somerset Council
• Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council
• Bristol City Council
• Dorset Council
• North Somerset Council
• Somerset County Council
• South Gloucestershire Council

During the term of the Contract, the organisations within the Libraries West Consortium, and therefore the eligible users of this Contract, may change.

This procurement is being carried out by the Authority on behalf of all authorities within the LibrariesWest Consortium and any other named authorities listed here at the time of Contract commencement. For avoidance of doubt the authorities named below will not be joining at the Contract commencement date but will be eligible to do so at any time during the lifetime of the Contract.
