## Summary

The Natural History Museum bought a software-as-a-service system to track and manage collection items while they are being moved. This is a specialist digital service for managing the movement of museum collection material, rather than a general software package. The buyer is the Natural History Museum, and the service is for its operations in London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AXIELL ALM LIMITED. The award was made on 1 September 2026, with a contract running from 2 September 2026 to 31 December 2030. The recorded contract value is £180,800. The purchase was made as a G-Cloud 14 call-off contract. The terms allow two possible extensions, each for up to 12 months. The available information does not describe the evaluation criteria or explain how bids were compared.

This award demonstrates demand from the Natural History Museum for a hosted system focused on tracking collection items as they move and supporting their management. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement in future would need to show that their service can support these collection-movement workflows and meet the museum’s operational needs. The buyer marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, which is relevant when assessing whether a business is positioned to compete. The award provides a clear indication of the type of specialist software service this buyer procures and the call-off route used.
