The National Library of Scotland (the Library) is seeking to purchase of a cloud-based Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) including data migration, implementation, training and service support to improve information management of its Estate Team operations, streamline of processes and enhance business efficiencies.

The Library is adopting a cloud-first approach and is therefore seeking a fully hosted SaaS (Software as a Service) solution, accessed through web browser and mobile devices to meet the Library’s needs. The Library expects no on-premise installation.

  • Provide clear reports, allowing the maintenance manager to keep track of spending and ensure money is used wisely.
  • Enable staff, contractors, and users to easily report problems and see how repairs are progressing.
  • Track jobs by time and cost, enabling clear understanding of how long things take and how much they cost.
  • Report on performance to help improve services.
  • Provide information that helps prove value for money to the Library and its Board.
  • Connect with smart devices and cloud-based systems to improve automation and data sharing. Additional information: The initial contract is 3 years, with an option to extend for 3 x 24 months.
