Framework Agreement for the Leasing of Public PCs with Software for the Public Library of Bruges

The Public Library of Bruges is seeking a comprehensive framework agreement for the leasing of public-use personal computers (PCs) and associated software across all its current and future branches. This initiative aims to ensure continuous provision of essential digital access points for library patrons. The requirement encompasses two distinct types of devices: firstly, machines dedicated to catalog consultation, availability checks, and access to digital library services; and secondly, general-purpose public PCs for information retrieval, digital collection access, use of office applications for educational, personal, or professional purposes, and engagement with digital services and cultural offerings. The library desires a holistic solution that integrates the leasing of these devices and accessories over a five-year period, along with necessary software licenses and ongoing support, all within a single package. The contract will involve a minimum of 60 devices distributed across 13 library locations. Furthermore, the library intends to offer its users a user-friendly solution for printing documents, with payment processed through the library's Wise system. Detailed specifications and technical requirements for this procurement are further elaborated in Section 8, Technical Specifications, of the selection guidelines.
