## Summary

The National Army Museum is seeking tenders for a Film Digitisation Project aimed at converting various media types from its collection into digital records. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a tender period ending on 17th December 2021. This project will involve the digitisation of approximately 121 film reels, 11 U-matic and Betacam cassettes, and 523 VHS cassettes. The contract is valued at £9,000 and is expected to commence on 20th December 2021, running until 25th February 2022. This limited procurement method is classified under the motion picture and video services industry.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in digital media services, particularly those adept in film and video digitisation. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, potentially allowing those with expertise in handling historical and mixed media collections to compete effectively. Given the nature of the project, businesses that can provide detailed pricing for different media types in their tenders will be well-positioned to secure a portion of this work, as the museum may select multiple suppliers based on the bids received.

## Notice

The project is for the digitisation of a section of the Museum's collection of mixed media film. This digitisation project forms one strand of ongoing collections review and involves the creation of digital records for three categories of film material. This element of the project consists of: * Film reels (including 35mm, 16mm, 8mm) - roughly 121 * U-matic and Betacam cassettes - 11 (7 U-matic and 4 Betacam) * VHS Cassettes - roughly 523 The Collection is currently stored at the Museum's reserve collection store at Stevenage which will need to be visited to get the scale of work required. For budgeting purposes, the Museum requires the cost for the digitisation of each type of media to be priced separately in the tender response so that it can decide at the project award stage whether carry out all or part of the project. The Museum may accept tenders for all or part of the works from different tenderers. Additional information: Addition of Document
