Tender description

Medway Council also operates a home library service to residential care homes or borrowers with limited mobility and has plans to start a pop-up library later this year. Medway Libraries currently provides a counter service for issue and returning stock using Spydus library management system. The Spydus website also allows borrowers to reserve stock without the need of staff intervention. Medway Libraries are looking to install ten self-service library kiosks in nine of its libraries with the aim of reducing demands on counter staff and ease waiting times, enabling staff to spend more time engaging with customers on the library floor. This document invites tenders to supply, install and maintain 10 self-serve kiosks at 9 library sites The contract will also include maintenance, technical support and extended warranty services for 5 years, including initial and ongoing integration and compatibility with our LMS software.

About the buyer
Medway Council governs the Medway towns in Kent, and buys as a local authority with its own central procurement team. All contracting opportunities are advertised on the Kent Business Portal, where suppliers can search live tenders and set up email alerts. Suppliers must also register on the Central Digital Platform, a requirement since the Procurement Act 2023 took effect. Dynamic purchasing systems cover recurring needs such as SEND transport, supported living and agency staff recruitment. Premarket engagement with suppliers shapes tender requirements before contracts go live. The council also publishes its full contracts register on the same portal.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Medway Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and health and social work.
