## Summary

The Gateshead Council is seeking a provider for a project titled "Heritage Digital Interactives Software and Server Space," which falls under the educational software category. Located in Gateshead, England, this procurement process is currently in the Award stage, following the completion of the tender period which ended on 6th March 2019. Published initially on 14th February 2019, the awarded contract, amounting to £36,750, commenced on 3rd June 2019 and will run until 3rd June 2024. The method of procurement used was a limited competitive quotation, designed for services that tackle the technological needs of the Council's digital collections.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in providing robust web-based software solutions and cloud services, particularly those that can deliver customisable content management options. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in educational software development, digital archiving, and interactive technology solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project could foster growth by tapping into the increasing demand for digital interactive resources and archival management.

## Notice

The Council requires provision of a technically robust, web-based, hosted software solution to provide an interface between the Gateshead Archive digital collections and interactive hardware located at Gateshead Central Library. This includes large touch tables or kiosks, presentation screens, and desktop computers used for research. The software solution must provide a design interface that is fully customisable to present stories about the history of Gateshead including digitised content from the Gateshead Archive collections. The Council also requires an externally hosted server space to store our digital collection. Our collection is comprised of a range of digitised archival files including: photographs, maps, newspapers, scrapbooks and historic electoral registers, curated by Gateshead Council and Libraries. Some of this digitised content (primarily photographs) is currently hosted internally on servers located within Gateshead Council. Other material will be digitised over time from summer 2019. The maps will be available to upload from the Landmark Mapping Service and can either be uploaded from DVD or from existing Council servers. The server space to be provided by the supplier must be hosted in either the Cloud or a Data Centre. Go to www.nepo.org to access the tender documents.
