Library Service Platform and Discovery Layer & Resource List Management System

Tender description

The University is seeking to establish a contract for the supply of Lot 1 Library Service Platform and Discovery Layer and Lot 2 Resource List Management System. The Digital Library Project is essential to the development and delivery of a new library strategy. The new strategy will cover the range of library activity including new approaches to space, collection building, student engagement, staff skills and scholarly communications as well as systems which this this project will deliver directly. Student satisfaction with library services is below our comparators and this project will help address that by providing new ways to deliver content as well as improving efficiency. Implementation of new systems will not be the end of our work but will enable further development as we develop the capability of our systems. We are looking for a partner who can not only deliver a system but can work with us as we develop and implement our new strategy. All solutions must allow us to continue to operate with minimal local systems ‘expertise’. The pass fail requirements are included in the scoring methodology.
