Online library - e-lending platform

Zuschlagskriterien

• 1. Implementation & Migration Approach (Project Plan): The KB aims to achieve a carefully controlled transition to the new E-Lending platform, ensuring that a smooth migration, effective chain collaboration, and uninterrupted service delivery are fully safeguarded.

• 2. Innovation Capability & Roadmap / SaaS Evolution: The KB requires an e-lending platform that is actively developed throughout the contract period, adapts to evolving end-user needs and technological developments, and remains future-proof. In this context, the KB attaches importance to demonstrable R&D capacity and a transparent process in which customers (the KB and the library ecosystem) have a structural influence on further development and prioritisation.

• 3. Sustainability & Societal Impact: The KB seeks a solution that is developed and managed in an energy-efficient, sustainable, and socially responsible manner, with minimal ecological impact and a responsible supply chain (including suppliers and hosting partners).

• 4. System Desirables: In addition to the minimum requirements set out in the Requirements (Schedule 1), a number of System Desirables relating to the online library have also been included. These are listed in Schedule 3, System Desirables – Online library. By means of this Award Criterion, the KB seeks to differentiate between Tenders according to the extent to which the proposed solution aligns with the desirables set out in Schedule 3.
