Successful bidders will benefit from a high-value contract of £350,000, with the potential to enhance their portfolio and strengthen their market presence.

## Notice

Most NPLD content is provided by larger publishers through commercial supply chain channels and is accompanied by well-formed metadata. Following the cyber-attack, we are seeking a new platform to provide this Publisher Portal Service. This should utilise modern, scalable technology that meets the security needs of the British Library and our LDL partners.
