What the buyer wants
• Work with the library team and community stakeholders to understand the requirements for each library site • Create final design options covering furniture, way points (navigation areas), signage, and layout • Supply and install all furniture, fittings, and materials to deliver the agreed design • Each project is expected to take around 6 months from start to finish

Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This contract requires significant design expertise and the ability to manage complex stakeholder engagement, which most small construction or trades businesses do not have in-house. You would need to either have internal design capability or partner with a designer, and demonstrate previous experience with similar library or community projects for a local authority.
