PTFS Europe awarded a position on ESPO 350 framework to supply the Koha Library Management System.

PTFS Europe is delighted to announce that we are awarded a position to supply the Koha library management system as part of the ESPO Framework 350 Library Solutions and Systems.

Koha Library Management System

The Koha library management system is a completely web-based application providing staff and public users with access to the system through web browsers. The system comprises core modules: acquisitions with EDI, circulation, cataloguing, serials and comprehensive reporting functionality. The Koha online catalogue (OPAC) offers end users excellent search capabilities together with a full range of personalisation services. Koha’s depth of functionality continues to develop to meet the changing needs of libraries and their users.

When ESPO issued a tender for library solutions and sytems, PTFS Europe was delighted to submit a tender. Through this process, ESPO was satisfied that PTFS Europe demonstrated its competence, professionalism and ability to deliver a library solution to its customers.

“We are delighted to have been successful in this tender process. We are always keen that the process for libraries to buy a new library management system should be as straightforward as possible. This framework agreement will enable us to offer the Koha open source library system to public sector customers, and we look forward to our first implementation through the framework and many more to follow.”
