About this contract

As part of the CiD report, The National Archives are working with culture sector representatives to develop a new strategic approach to the digitisation and presentation of cultural objects, for example, looking at the common standards needed to make our nation's great cultural assets more interoperable, discoverable and sustainable. The Strategic review of DCMS-Sponsored museums and the wider-reaching Mendoza review of museums also flagged the opportunities digitisation and online access to museum collections offer. DCMS wish to produce a tool to map online collections in England. This will allow connections to be drawn thematically or otherwise between related collections and objects, for gaps to be identified in where digitisation activity has taken place and to what standard, and for the public to understand better the collections held by institutions. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
