Summary of the contracting process

The Heritage Fund procured a fully configured, secure and scalable digital asset management system (DAMS) as an information technology service. The system is intended to support around 340 staff users, four to five system administrators and approximately 1,500 to 2,000 external users, including grantees, partner organisations, suppliers and journalists. Its scope covers multi-brand environments, self-service access, asset governance, consent tracking and a straightforward user experience for both internal and external users. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement is for a managed digital platform capable of handling changing external-user demand while giving the Heritage Fund control over its digital assets, permissions and consent processes.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Brandstencil Ltd on 7 August 2026. The award value is £45,698 excluding VAT, or £54,837 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. It was a below-threshold procurement using a method recorded as unknown, with one completed lot. The award covers digital asset management services and information technology services. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 14 August 2026. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The award is active, while the tender itself is recorded as complete.

This requirement shows demand from the Heritage Fund for a specialist digital asset management provider able to configure and secure a production-ready platform rather than supply an isolated software product. Credible competitors would need experience supporting several hundred internal users alongside a substantially larger, variable external community. Relevant capability includes administration of multi-brand environments, self-service onboarding and access controls, asset governance, consent and permissions management, and a user interface suitable for both professional staff and occasional external users. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate scalable service delivery, information security and reliable platform administration across the United Kingdom. Experience serving public, grant-making, cultural or partner-based organisations would help establish understanding of the varied user groups and governance needs.
