Notice Title

Tender for the Digitisation of Records at Sandwell Register Office - AWARD

Notice Description

Tender for the Digitisation of Record at Sandwell Register Office The Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council has original registration documentation (births, deaths and marriages) dating back to 1837. Many of these documents are in a poor and deteriorating state of repair and we need to ensure their continued preservation. In addition, the records are accessed on a regular basis to provide copy documents to customers, which accelerates the deterioration process and is time-consuming (conducting manual searches). The Council is seeking to digitise this service and is seeking a Supplier to carry out the services specified within this tender document. Tenderers are expected to undertake their own assessment of the scope of the work but, as an estimate, it is expected to involve approximately 5000 registers, not all the registers will be allowed to be taken off-site in one visit. The successful tenderer will be expected to carry out this process in stages. The maximum period allowed for this will be up to 3 years from the Contract Commencement Date. The Contract Commencement Date shall be 1st October 2017 for a period of 3 years until 30th September 2020, unless it is otherwise terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Contract.
