    Brief

    Durham County Council Library Services seeks to replace its outdated in-house Library Management System (LMS) that currently serves 39 public libraries, prison libraries, and the Schools Library Service. The existing system no longer meets operational and strategic requirements. This project will deliver a modern, scalable LMS platform that improves operational efficiency, enhances user experience across all service locations, supports digital transformation initiatives, and meets current compliance and security standards. Suppliers should have experience in library management systems, understand multi-site deployments, and be capable of managing system migration while maintaining service continuity across public libraries, correctional facilities, and school services.
