The LB Sutton, on behalf of the London Libraries Consortium, is seeking a sea-change in the technological provision of online library services that will change public perception of libraries in the 21 century. Our aim is to establish a single supplier framework.

In addition to replacing the current library management system, the driver behind this investment is to have a flexible platform that continuously enables new services and technology to be plugged in, thereby ensuring customers can always access the latest technology. A key driver is to increase and broaden public access to online services and for this to stimulate more physical visits to public libraries.

Please note that the “London Library Consortium” is a convenient short form to describe those local authorities (and other organisations, if any) that presently utilise a common library management system that this procurement has been undertaken to replace. It is not an incorporated association.
