WCC - Library Refit Services Framework
Authority: Warwickshire County Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe County Council is seeking to develop an 8 Year Open multi-Supplier framework to procure uplift, refit, re-design & furniture restocking of Warwickshire libraries, as-and-when required.
Warwickshire County Council's (WCCs) operates through a network of 18 statutory libraries which are directly managed by the County Council.
The process aims to onboard a number of providers to create an approved framework supplier list. It is hope that this will enable greater choice, versatility and competition.
This Framework is not divided into lots.
To tender for future opportunities, Framework Suppliers will be invited to participate in further-competition processes. The council intends to run further competition processes in which to select a supplier to deliver each Library project via the framework, however where the council (at its sole discretion) considers the use of a specific supplier from the framework is beneficial for consistency/continuity purposes (e.g additional goods from the same supplier that completed the original work) then the council reserves the right to procure via direct award to that supplier directly without competition.
We are seeking Suppliers who offer expertise in design flare, innovation whilst being, durable and safe. Suppliers who can provide flexible layouts for varied events in which to meet Warwickshire diverse community needs & increase Library usage across the County. Suppliers who offer value for money through experience and design.
We are inviting library Uplift/Refit/furnishing providers who can evidence at least three public sector organisations library Uplifts/Refits/refurnishing projects.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Jun 2029, 23:59 BST.
