Details

Historic England wishes to procure a full SaaS digital preservation system to enable the care of Historic England’s existing digital archive content, and to facilitate long-term care of data sets which are being created by Historic England teams, and which do not currently form part of the Digital Archive. The requirement is for a system which provides full digital preservation capabilities in line with the OAIS reference model, ISO14721. The solution must include data hosting of the content stored in the Digital Archive in a cyber-secure environment as set out in the technical specification which forms part of this procurement pack. Full details of this project can be found in the ITT.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this water & environment opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
