The need arose as the existing platform was no longer sufficient to support their business model, which involves showcasing digital images for commercial reproduction. Classified under the printed matter and related products category, and involving IT and business services, this project commenced with an open procurement method. The process was finalized with an award dated 22nd March 2022, having a contract value of £147,720. The contract spans from 4th January 2022 to 31st March 2026, aligning within The National Archives' objective to enhance their digital services offerings. This tender presents significant business opportunities, especially for firms specialising in IT software development, internet services, and related consulting. The procurement process was designed to be accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), making it a lucrative project for such businesses looking to expand into the public sector. A company like Capture Ltd, the awarded supplier, exemplifies the type of SME that can thrive by partnering with public institutions like The National Archives, through innovative digital solutions that can transform archival data into commercially viable products. The project's successful execution can lead to potential long-term collaborations and further project opportunities in the public sector. ## Notice The National Archives has an online image library which showcases individual digital images from our archival collection. These images are made available for commercial reproduction purposes to business users. The current platform for our online image library is no longer fit for purpose and needs to be replaced. We are seeking a supplier that can provide a new online image library platform that can allow us to continue our existing business model. Please see the Invitation to Tender document on how to apply. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/75baff59-c018-441b-930b-237e65801412 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | 10 Dec 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Mar 2022 | | Contract period | 4 Jan 2022 - 31 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £147,720 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £147,720 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES | | Locality | RICHMOND | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW9 4DU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | | Local authority | Richmond upon Thames | | Electoral ward | Kew | | Westminster constituency | Richmond Park | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CAPTURE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 22 - Printed matter and related products - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 22000000 - Printed matter and related products - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 3 Sep 2025 at 13:34 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/75baff59-c018-441b-930b-237e65801412 - 22 Mar 2022 at 15:02 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/75baff59-c018-441b-930b-237e65801412 - 26 Nov 2021 at 14:56 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/12407eb1-3f82-4192-a843-5a4127cd8fb7 - 19 Nov 2021 at 14:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/12407eb1-3f82-4192-a843-5a4127cd8fb7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/75baff59-c018-441b-930b-237e65801412 3rd September 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/12407eb1-3f82-4192-a843-5a4127cd8fb7 26th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c8c5af95-a704-48b7-baed-02d03eedbfab - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/33ec6397-4e58-4ccd-91ce-f012bd3da94d ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
