Description

The British Museum wishes to replace its Digital Asset Management System (DAMS), a critical system that stores and distributes images across many systems and departments. It facilitates research and education, enables commercial image sales, and provides material for marketing content. Whilst the DAMS is internal facing it also supplies images to public facing systems, notably the Museum’s online collection database, Collections Online. This procurement includes the following activities: a) Configuration of a new cloud based DAMS operating on a SaaS basis, b) Migration of existing assets & metadata from the existing on premises DAMS to the new cloud based DAMS, c) Integration of the new DAMS with other Museum systems, d) Ongoing support for the new DAMS. The estimated total contract value is based on a maximum contract duration of 10 years and assumptions about the volume of data that will be stored in the DAMS over that period so should be treated as being indicative only.

Total Quantity or Scope

The procurement of a new DAMS will be conducted as an Open Procedure using the Delta eSourcing platform. Elements of the tender documents that will be published contain confidential information relating to security aspects of both our current DAMS and the requirements for the new DAMS. To protect this confidential information we require that potential bidders sign a non disclosure agreement (NDA) before we release the full specification and supporting information to them. It will not be possible to directly access the tenderbox via a link in this Contract Notice.

Those potential bidders that have already completed this process in response to the Prior Information Notice 2024/S 000-014516 will receive an invitation from the Delta eSourcing system allowing them to access the tender documents when this Contract Notice is published and need not take any further action.
