## Summary

The Tate Gallery is seeking solutions for a High Value Digital Asset Storage upgrade, aimed at enhancing the management and preservation of its digitised collection. With a total budget of £150,000, this open procurement process is currently at the Award stage, which has been ongoing since October 21, 2019. The contract is set to run until October 30, 2026, and delivery will be accepted across various locations, including the UK and abroad. The tender is classified under data storage services, and the deadline for submissions was October 18, 2019.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in data storage solutions, particularly those that are experienced in scalable hardware systems that integrate with existing software environments. Companies focusing on digital asset management, preservation technologies, and those with experience serving arts and cultural institutions would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The focus on a solution that ensures long-term preservation offers potential for innovative firms looking to expand their footprint in the cultural heritage sector.

## Notice

Tate's digitised collection is stored on an existing infrastructure, which facilitates the management, preservation and access to these works. It is this storage which requires upgrading and replacing due to the age of the existing hardware. As such, there is a requirement for a storage hardware solution that will ensure the long-term preservation and integrity of these digital files. The solution must be scalable as Tate has a large volume of digital assets that will need to be migrated into this storage solution, as well as an increasing volume of digital assets being created and acquired. Any hardware solution must work with Tate's existing software solutions. This High Value Digital Asset (HVDA) Storage forms the basis of this tender.
