## Summary

The National Archives (TNA) is currently in the planning stage for the tender titled "Licensing Opportunity - Australian and New Zealand Public Service Lists, 1892-1929," aimed at digitising, transcribing, and publishing historical records online. The procurement process is designed for service providers in the library, archives, museums, and cultural services sector, with the need for submissions by the engagement end date of 25th March 2019. This project will take place in Richmond, England, at the address TW9 4DU.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in digitisation, archival services, or genealogy research. Companies that can provide high-quality conservation and digital imaging capabilities, as well as transcription services, will find this project particularly relevant. Given the historical significance of the records involved, businesses equipped to handle such cultural heritage projects will be well-suited to compete for this contract, thus fostering avenues for growth in the evolving digital landscape.

## Notice

The National Archives (TNA) is seeking expressions of interest from potential partners to digitise, transcribe and to publish online the records of The Australian and New Zealand Public Service Lists, 1892-1929. The contract award would include a commercial license to publish online digital images and associated transcription data, and a requirement to undertake all the necessary activities to make that possible - including conservation, digital image capture, transcription of data to allow for meaningful searches of the records, and online publication. Against the backdrop where much of the personal details recorded in Australian census records were, (often as a matter of policy, as well by accident) destroyed or lost, this collection of 75 bound volumes of Australian and New Zealand Public Service Lists, 1892-1929, includes names, dates of employment, state/government department employer and job titles, providing depth and interest for genealogists and historians. If this potential opportunity is of interest to you, please email us at procurement@nationalarchives.gov.uk by March 25th, 2019.
