The British Library is seeking information from suppliers to help develop the Libraries tender requirements for a new Target Operating Model for our Technology function to ensure that the Library contract for a service that aligns with our needs properly. The British Library views this RFI process as one potential route to inform the future procurement of the goods and/or services described. At this stage, no final decision has been taken on the precise procurement route to be followed. When submitting information, all organisations should note that this is not currently a tender opportunity but is part of a market consultation exercise aiming to ensure that the procurement route selected and the options ultimately developed for any procurement are properly informed.
