## Summary

The procurement process involves Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, which is seeking a digital storage solution for Barnsley Museums and Archives. The tender, titled "DN477051 Digital Storage Solution for Barnsley Museums and Archives 2020," is classified under the software package and information systems industry, with a total contract value of £50,000. The tender period ended on 30th April 2020, while the awarded contract is scheduled to run from 1st June 2020 to 31st May 2025. The procurement method used was an alternative to standard processes, tailored to the requirements identified by the Council.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those focusing on consulting and software development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this particularly beneficial as they can cater to the specific digital storage needs of public organisations. Businesses able to provide robust and future-proof storage solutions are well-positioned to compete for similar contracts, fostering growth through collaboration with local authorities like Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council.

## Notice

In recent years Barnsley Museums and Archives have created and received huge amounts of digital material. That material includes thousands of digital photographs, film footage, animations and sound recordings. We also hold digitised copies of every edition of the Barnsley Chronicle from 1858 to present day. First and foremost, our immediate priority was and is to ensure that our digital collections are safely stored and future proofed. At present, our digital material is stored on a series of external hard disc drives. These are not appropriate for long term storage and the likelihood of these drives becoming corrupt and inaccessible is high. We have a requirement for our incumbent to offer a solution which meets the needs of the business as alternative solutions were not cost effective.
