Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia has finalised the procurement for the "Mass Observation Project database 1980s, 1990 and 2000 modules," a comprehensive database of digitised texts such as letters, diaries, and photos from the public. The contract, classified under the CPV codes 48610000 (Database systems) and 48783000 (Content management software package), was a single tender action conducted via a direct procurement method, below the threshold. The contract period lasted a single day, starting and ending on 27th June 2024, with the tender stage concluding on 26th June 2024. The contract is awarded to Adam Matthews, who operates out of London.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the database and content management software sector, particularly those capable of managing extensive and unique digital archives. While the direct procurement method may limit the competition, businesses that can offer specialised or niche services in digitisation and database management could see an increase in demand for such high-value archival projects. Enterprises positioned to handle comprehensive digital content and offer innovative solutions for research archives will be particularly well-suited to engage with similar contracting opportunities in the future.
