Non-public European Tender for a Library Services Platform
De Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB) intends to develop a platform where people and information come together, with the aim of realizing a national digital library. The platform must integrate with existing partners in the network, be user-friendly, scalable, and secure. A non-public procedure is being used, meaning the tender is aimed at a limited number of specialized providers. The KB expects a solution that complies with Dutch laws and regulations, supports open standards, and offers possibilities for data exchange and interoperability with other library and knowledge infrastructures. The tender focuses on the supply of software, hosting, maintenance, and support.
