## Summary

The National Archives is currently engaged in the procurement of an "Application Support and Enhancement Service" for the Mimir Database Management System, which encompasses IT services involving consulting, software development, and support. The tender period concluded on 18 March 2022, and the contract, valued at £60,000, will run from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2025. This open procedure, conducted below the threshold, provides opportunities for interested parties to participate in enhancing the Mimir system, which integrates a modern browser-based application with an MS SQL database.

This tender provides a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in IT support and software development services. Businesses experienced in Java-based applications, web services, and database integration will find this project particularly relevant. Engaging in this procurement process could lead to significant growth opportunities, given the three-year duration of the contract and the potential for ongoing services beyond initial enhancements.
