Save time and money with Warwickshire’s library refit framework
Our innovative library refit framework is available to all local authorities across England and Wales.
Reductions in staff capacity and limited resources mean that procurement processes can be challenging and take time (normally around 6 months). Here in Warwickshire we’ve done the legwork for you with a ready-to-use framework of three specialist suppliers covering all aspects of library design and refit. This means you can save time and money, whether you are ordering furniture or remodelling your entire network of branches.
Fully compliant with EU procurement regulations, the service has been developed by library, procurement and legal professionals to help you every step of the way – from the initial concept to call-off contract award.
The suppliers
The framework offers a choice of three leading suppliers who have been selected to offer value for money, quality and choice throughout the process – from design, to refit to aftercare. The services offered specifically recognise the needs of library customers as well as the increased demand for flexible spaces that deliver a range of services and attract new audiences.

- after-sales support
