About the buyer
British Library is the national library of the UK, a charity, and buys as one of government's agencies and non-departmental public bodies.

British Library Publishing has separately tendered for sales representation covering London and the South East.
Over the past 5 years, most of British Library's contract awards have been in business services, recreation, culture and sport and IT services.
