Summary of the contracting process

The Natural History Museum in London is currently in the active stage of a tender process for the project titled "Project RECODE: NHM Collections Management Solution." This procurement falls under the goods category and specifically involves a content management software package valued at £5,000,000. The tender period is set to close on 9th August 2021, and bidders are required to submit proposals electronically. This project aims to secure a new collections management solution to enhance the museum’s operational efficiency and audience engagement in line with its strategic vision through to 2031.
