This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone being the engagement end date set for 15th June 2022. The procurement process aims to cover various IT services, including the maintenance and development of their legislation platform and publishing services, alongside a range of other digital service opportunities. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, consulting, software development, and publishing services. Suppliers with expertise in areas such as digital service design, user research, front-end development, and cloud application support are particularly encouraged to participate. Engaging early in this procurement event will enable businesses to shape their offerings in line with The National Archives' needs, fostering potential partnerships and enhancing their competitive edge in future procurement opportunities. ## Notice In the coming months, The National Archives will procure the maintenance and development of its legislation platform (legislation.gov.uk website, editorial and publishing systems), the operation of its legislation publishing services (online and in print), the operation and development of web archiving services (nationalarchives.gov.uk/webarchive) and the maintenance, development and operation of Lawmaker (a service enabling browser-based drafting and management of legislation including parliamentary amendments). More detailed descriptions of each are attached to this notice. We would like interested suppliers to join us to discuss these services at an early engagement procurement event at The National Archives in Kew on 29th June 2022, in which we will also be taking a look at future procurement opportunities in our digital services pipeline. We will explore options to partner with suppliers in a number of areas, including the development of our catalogue management and digital preservation systems, as well as our new Find Case Law service. We are interested in developing the information architecture of our digital services, and would like to talk to suppliers and specialists in user research, front end development, interaction and content design, the design and build of digital services, search, support for Cloud applications and hosting, and DevOps. We're holding this event to help us to shape our procurement strategy and we'd like supplier feedback on how we do this. So we would encourage a wide range of suppliers, with expertise and capability in any, or all, of the areas described in this notice, to join us for an afternoon of discussion and networking, and to meet potential procurement partners. To register, please email procurement@nationalarchives.gov.uk by midday on 15th June 2022, letting us know the names of your proposed attendees, which of the opportunities you are interested in, and the areas of expertise which you can offer. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf1182fc-1a71-4897-bbd5-8748238d4d89 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 May 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 15 Jun 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | 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 | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79970000 - Publishing services ## Release History - 27 May 2022 at 08:27 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf1182fc-1a71-4897-bbd5-8748238d4d89 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf1182fc-1a71-4897-bbd5-8748238d4d89 27th May 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b31ae8a7-bddc-4b73-aed2-81ae95bd9d1f Description of services and opportunities. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
