The Department for Culture, Media & Sport awarded a contract to the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) for the provision of comparative profile reports on libraries.

The reports provide each library authority in England with a profile comparing it to a selected group of library authorities across indicators reflecting key aspects of library provision, including numbers of libraries and service users, costs of running library services, levels of staffing and volunteers, annual book and audio-visual issues, stock and acquisition levels, performance in relation to speed of requests, and user satisfaction.

The data enables library authorities to compare their service costs and performance with that of their peers, allowing review of areas for improvement and identification of good practice.

The contract value was £40,185.
