## Summary

The National Archives (TNA) is currently in the Tender stage of its procurement for an Electronic Document & Records Management (EDRM) solution. The contract aims to transition from an on-premise to a cloud-based system, adhering to Government Digital Service (GDS) standards. TNA plans to award the contract for an initial three-year period, with the option to extend for two additional twelve-month periods. The tender period concludes on 27 April 2017, and the contract's effective date will start on 1 October 2017, covering the software package and information systems industry, specifically within the services category. The procurement method employed is selective, using a negotiated procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cloud solutions, software as a service (SaaS), and IT infrastructure. Companies capable of providing an EDRM solution that complies with relevant legislation and offers secured data sharing options will be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the procurement process is open to their solutions. This shift to a cloud-based system opens doors for innovative entrants in the technology sector, aiming to enrich TNA’s information management capabilities.

## Notice

1.1 The purpose of this Procurement Process is for The National Archives (TNA) to select a Supplier to deliver an Electronic Document & Records Management (EDRM) solution for its corporate information. TNA intends this to replace its current, on-premise EDRM solution. 1.2 Our aim is to shift from an internally-hosted EDRM to a cloud solution, in line with Government Digital Service (GDS) standards and TNA's own IT strategy. It is imperative that TNA is able to maintain rigorous compliance with relevant legislation, including its own obligations to transfer records under the Public Records Act, but the new solution should also meet additional business requirements such as the ability to share data with external organisations in a controlled manner. 1.3 Whilst TNA's strong preference is for the EDRM solution to be delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS), Potential Suppliers may submit solutions using alternative architecture such as an on-premise or hybrid model. 1.4 TNA intends to award the EDRM Contract for an initial period of three years, with options to extend for two further periods of up to twelve months each (3+1+1).
