## Summary

The BFI (British Film Institute) is initiating a tender titled "IIIF Development Work" aimed at enhancing access to its digital still image and document collections. This procurement falls within the IT services sector, specifically targeting software development and database services. The tender is currently active and will close on 1st February 2021. The contract period is set to commence on 10th February 2021 and concludes on 31st March 2021. The work location will be primarily at the BFI's premises in London, with the tender being conducted via an open procurement method.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, especially those focused on software development related to platform interconnectivity and database management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may possess the agility and innovation required to meet the project’s specific needs. Companies with expertise in creating user authentication systems and digital interaction tracking will find this tender particularly relevant to their offerings.

## Notice

The BFI National Archive is deploying an IIIF infrastructure to enable effective access to digital still image and document collections by BFI staff and BFI Reuben Library reading room researchers. This infrastructure will not be made available on the open internet, but only to workstations within the BFI's physical network or via its remote working environment. We are deploying an instance of the Universal Viewer in the first instance, though in time we may choose to deploy other IIIF viewers such as Mirador. The BFI has a requirement to achieve tracking of interactions with the digital collections, both by BFI staff on workstations, and by Library visitors on BFI Library terminals. This tender is for the development work to create and deploy a solution to achieve this, by (a) forcing users of our Universal Viewer instance (or Mirador instance if deployed later) to log in using personal credentials, and then by (b) storing a permanent log of each user's interactions with the digital media. This log will be used to audit, quantify and understand usage of the digital collections generally, and of specific collections assets.
