## Summary

The National Archives is conducting a public procurement process for the "HMC Admin Database" project, classified under the software package and information systems industry. The procurement uses an open method, specifically an open procedure below threshold. Key dates include the tender period ending on 25th November 2019 and the contract period commencing on 8th December 2019, lasting until 31st March 2020. The relevant location for delivery is Richmond, England, with postal code TW9 4DU.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) involved in IT services, software development, and consultancy. Companies that specialise in browser-based applications and database management systems will find this contract particularly suited to their offerings. The potential for involvement in modernising technical processes indicates a pathway for participants to expand their market presence and gain experience in government projects.

## Notice

The Historical Manuscripts Commission Administrative Database (HMC Admin) is a browser-based application interacting with an MS SQL database. The underlying data in HMC Admin is held in a MS SQL database which has successfully been updated and moved to new servers. However, the browser based tools which TNA staff use to interact with the database are at breaking point both technically (e.g. they require an old version of Internet Explorer for which Microsoft could remove support at any time) and in terms of business processes.
