This initiative aims to create an online database that will facilitate access to archaeological reference collections and typologies. The procurement is classified under the Information Technology Services category (CPV code: 72222300) and is currently at the Tender stage with an end date for submissions set for 22nd February 2022. The contract is anticipated to commence on 14th March 2022 and will last until 13th March 2028, with a value of £40,000 and a minimum budget of £30,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in information technology services, particularly those with expertise in database development and management. Companies that are proficient in creating flexible, user-friendly online platforms suitable for managing complex data sets will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) should consider participating, as the tender is open to them, fostering competition and innovation in the sector. ## Notice The aim of this project is to support the online publication and access to archaeological reference collections and typologies. This will be achieved by the development of an online database to host and manage archaeological reference collections and typologies. This will be a multi-user, multi-organisational shared resource. The initial focus of the database development is to host a number of pottery type series that are currently being created. This will establish a national resource of interlinked type series that are underpinned by sector standards. However, the system needs to be flexible to enable its use for other archaeological material and artefact reference collections that have different attributes to those used to describe pottery type series.
