## Summary

The National Archives is currently seeking suppliers for the opportunity to provide digital copies of court judgments and tribunal decisions, with multiple contracts available. This procurement falls under the goods category and is classified as data supply services, with a budget of approximately £500,000. The tender, launched via an open procurement method, is active and set to close on 21 January 2022. The applicable contract period is expected to commence on 14 February 2022 and conclude by 31 March 2022. The delivery addresses will be located in Richmond, England.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in digital archiving, data processing, or legal document management. Businesses equipped to handle historical document preservation or those involved in digital transformation services could significantly benefit from participating in this procurement process. The focus on acquiring comprehensive, overlapping digital sets provides a unique chance for organisations to showcase their capabilities and potentially establish long-term partnerships with a prominent national institution.

## Notice

The National Archives (TNA) is seeking to secure for the nation the historical public record of the decisions of the senior courts and upper tribunals by acquiring, through purchase or donation, digital copies of Court Judgments and Tribunal Decisions. These will be preserved for posterity and made available for public access, including, where it is appropriate to do so, by publication as part of a new service on The National Archives website. The scope of this tender is to acquire digital copies of Court Judgments and Tribunal Decisions, with a particular focus on published judgments. These might be born digital copies of handed down judgments (for example those which have been sent to law reporters or legal publishers by the clerk or judge), digital transcriptions of extempore judgments, or digitised images of the paper records of judgments (including from publications). TNA wishes to procure multiple, overlapping sets of judgements and tribunal decisions for corroboration purposes. As such, TNA envisages awarding multiple contracts as a result of this procurement exercise, the number of contracts awarded being dependent on the volume and quality of submissions received and on affordability within the total allocated budget of circa PS500,000. Please refer to the attached ITT document for details on how to respond.
