The process aims to gather market interest for providing geospatial data application viewers, hosting and maintaining data archives, ingesting new deposits, and further viewer development. The tender has a value of £350,000 and the tender period ends on 7th August 2023, with a contract period starting from 31st January 2024 to 31st January 2031. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase. This tender by the British Library presents an opportunity for businesses interested in developing and providing geospatial data application services for libraries. SMEs would be well-suited to compete in this tender opportunity. The contract offers a chance to contribute to the accessibility and usability of geospatial data archives for various regions, including Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Businesses with expertise in software development services and computer systems are encouraged to participate in this procurement process. ## Notice The UK Legal Deposit Libraries (LDLs) are interested in gathering information regarding market interest to provide a geospatial data application and related services (GDAS). The LDLs maintain an archive of born-digital, geospatial data for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, largely in geospatial formats compatible with Geographical Information Systems (GIS). They make this archive available through a geospatial data viewer in their reading rooms. We are looking for market interest in providing this GDAS viewer and making it available in reading rooms; hosting and maintaining the current archive; ingesting new deposits and further GDAS viewer development. The British Library views this RFI process as one potential route to inform the future procurement of the goods and/or services described. The information gathered under this RFI may be used to evaluate potential suppliers and service offers and produce a shortlist for invitation to tender. At this stage, no final decision has been taken on the precise procurement route to be followed. When submitting information, all organisations should note that this is not currently a tender opportunity but is part of a market consultation exercise aiming to ensure that the procurement route selected and the options ultimately developed for any procurement are properly informed. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0d515353-95c4-4157-9ec4-aa404df9bf3e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 6 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jan 2024 - 31 Jan 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £350,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRITISH LIBRARY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 2DB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | St Pancras & Somers Town | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72212900 - Miscellaneous software development services and computer systems ## Release History - 7 Jul 2023 at 10:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0d515353-95c4-4157-9ec4-aa404df9bf3e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0d515353-95c4-4157-9ec4-aa404df9bf3e 7th July 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-London:-Miscellaneous-software-development-services-and-computer-systems./4THK29748Q Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
