Description

Swindon Borough Council currently has 15 static and 1 mobile library. Subject to the outcome of Cabinet paper being discussed on 7 Dec 2016, the number of libraries and staffed hours could potentially be reduced to a core library service.

SBC is looking at ways to enhance the core service by extending opening beyond staffed hours by using technology that will enable a library to stay open unstaffed for permitted users to obtain services they require as if the library was staffed.
The framework may cover any libraries in Swindon borough. It is anticipated that libraries will need the same technology therefore the contract will need to include potential future purchases.
