Abstract
SELMS, the largest Library Management System (LMS) consortium is holding a Supplier Engagement Day with current providers of LMS to gain an understanding of the current market to assist in defining its requirements and to inform any Procurement processes necessitated by current contracts that expire during 2017.
*SELMS is a group of 11 local authorities and counties who, through a Memorandum of Agreement, share a hosted LMS and engage in joint working and resource sharing for their public library services.
SELMS operates the largest joint LMS in Europe serving nearly 10 % of the UK population in over 250 libraries. Recognised as leading the way forward and setting standards in libraries, SELMS wants to explore opportunities to develop and grow further. We want to ensure that SELMS continues to be recognised as a leader and to do this we want to take advantage of future plans that providers have in their product offering.
SELMS needs to understand what is currently available and what is in provider's product plans to assist them to refine and make future proof their ongoing library services.
SELMS will be looking for a maximum of 1 hour's live demonstration of your product to members supporting technical documentation and a Product Roadmap including any development plans. You will need to demonstrate how your product delivers or is planned to deliver ‘Consortium Functionality’ across multiple diverse partners and the session will end with questions and answers with partners.
The meeting is anticipated to be for 3 hours.
The Supplier Engagement Days will be held on 15.10.2015, 20.10.2015, and 22.10.2015 at The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead's Council Offices.
In order to attend the event the minimum requirements are that suppliers are current providers of a hosted LMS for public libraries operating as a ‘Consortium’ as described above.
The information gathered at the Supplier Days will be used to assist in selecting a procurement route to market.
In order to express an interest in attending the Supplier Engagement Day, please contact louise.mccabe-wright@rbwm.gov.uk by Friday, 2nd October stating where you currently deliver hosted public library management systems and the numbers of partner working collaboratively with contact details for reference sites. Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) will contact you to arrange a date and time for the demonstration.
