## Summary

The British Museum is looking to procure a Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) through an open procedure. The estimated contract value is £2,125,000, and the tender deadline is set for June 21, 2024. The contract period is from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2034. The procurement is classified under the 'Software package and information systems' category, with the delivery location specified as London, United Kingdom.

This opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and is ideal for businesses in the goods sector. Businesses capable of configuring a cloud-based DAMS, migrating assets, integrating systems, and providing ongoing support are well-suited to compete. The British Museum, located in London, is overseeing this procurement initiative, presenting a lucrative opportunity in the software and information systems industry for interested firms.

## Notice

The British Museum wishes to replace its Digital Asset Management System (DAMS), a critical system that stores and distributes images across many systems and departments. It facilitates research and education, enables commercial image sales, and provides material for marketing content. Whilst the DAMS is internal facing it also supplies images to public facing systems, notably the Museum's online collection database, Collections Online. This procurement includes the following activities: a) Configuration of a new cloud based DAMS operating on a SaaS basis, b) Migration of existing assets & metadata from the existing on premises DAMS to the new cloud based DAMS, c) Integration of the new DAMS with other Museum systems, d) Ongoing support for the new DAMS. The estimated total contract value is based on a maximum contract duration of 10 years and assumptions about the volume of data that will be stored in the DAMS over that period so should be treated as being indicative only.
