The brief

Sandwell Libraries and Archives - Home Library Service Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council (the Council) provides a Home Library Service to customers who cannot visit a library.

The service has been in operation for many years.

However, we wish to outsource the delivery part of the operation of the Home Library Service.

No TUPE will be involved.

The Home Library Service delivers a range of materials directly to residents of any age who, because of illness, disability or frailty, are unable to visit their local library.

The service is also available to carers who have difficulty accessing the library service due to their caring responsibilities.

Currently, it forms part of the Outreach Library Service (OLS), based at Central Library, West Bromwich.

Home Library Service staff prepare the items for service users and deliver directly to them.

This is a free service.
