Tender description

The provision of alternative format material, spoken word and large print, serves the needs of two interrelated and socially excluded groups for Hampshire County Council (the Council); the elderly and the print disabled. <br />The provision of spoken word and large print is a key area of library service provision and is one of our unique selling points.<br />The Council wants to identify from the market if any potential suppliers have the publishers rights to supply the books and audiobooks in the formats specified in the PIN (Prior information notice). The Council is looking to undertake a quotation exercise with suppliers that can demonstrate they can supply the identified authors in the formats requested.<br />Additionally, any supplier wishing to quote will need to ensure any EDI quotes, orders, fulfilment and invoices must be compatible with Spydus, our Library Management System. The stock must arrive fully processed and shelf ready. This includes, for each title, supplier EDI appliance of specified rotation rotas with variable start libraries within each individual rota. Delivery of stock is currently to a central location on a monthly basis.<br /><br />If you are interested in delivering these services please attach yourself to the project via the In-tend system at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshire/<br /><br />If your organisation is not registered on the Hampshire In-tend portal, please go to the website stated above and click on the `Register` tab - registration is free.<br /><br />Logging into In-Tend (once registered)<br />- To view this opportunity please click on `Tenders` then `Current` and then scroll down to the project - 'The supply of spoken word and large print material to Hampshire's Library Service - including authors Richard Osman and Lee Child'<br />- Selecting ‘View Details’ on the relevant opportunity <br />- Clicking the ‘Express Interest’ tab<br /><br />Once registered, you will need to send an In Tend correspondence providing details of the identified authors you have the publishing rights for with regards to supply the large print books, audiobooks and Playaway formats. <br />Any supplier who can demonstrate they have the relevant publishing rights and meet the scope identified in the PIN (Prior information notice) will then be invited to quote for the opportunity.
