Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, which has recently completed a single tender action for the acquisition of an A1-size ICAM Guardian Book Handling System. This purchase, classified under the goods category, has a total budget of £21,420. The procurement method employed was a direct approach due to the uniqueness of the supplier's capabilities and the necessity of maintaining warranty validity. The contract period is set from 29 March 2021 to 31 March 2021, with the award announcement published on 6 April 2021, following the end of the tender period on 22 March 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for suppliers specialising in advanced scanning technologies and related maintenance services, particularly those with unique skills or equipment that cannot be sourced elsewhere. Businesses that focus on specialised goods and services within the digital archiving and library sectors would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders, especially due to the nature of direct procurement actions, which often favour suppliers with niche expertise.
