Wokingham Borough Council have put our library service out to tender in a effort to save £170k a year, but seems unhappy with the project being labelled as "privatisation" of our libraries, perhaps these definitions of privatisation may help to resolve the confusion:
privatize, privatise - change from governmental to private control or ownership. "The oil industry was privatized"

privatisation - The process of moving from a government controlled system to a privately run, for-profit system.
[source:www.tricolom.com/glossary.htm]
privatization The transfer of a company or organization from government to private ownership and control. [Source:en.wiktionary.org/wiki/privatization]
