## Summary

The procurement process for the provision of AV digitisation services was led by Parliament UK, focusing on the archiving category within the services industry. The contract, valued at £1,000,000, aims to digitise a significant collection of parliamentary audio and video records stored on approximately 49,000 tapes. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 5th September 2017, with the contract officially starting on 23rd November 2017 and set to end on 22nd November 2021.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in archiving and digitisation services. Companies with expertise in media preservation and advanced digitisation technologies would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar future tenders. The contract awarded to Memnon Archiving Services SA illustrates the potential for substantial growth within this niche industry, particularly for firms capable of delivering secure, climate-controlled storage and a comprehensive digitisation plan.

## Notice

The Parliamentary audio and video archive provides a unique record of the proceedings of both Houses of Parliament and of a wide selection of committee meetings. The archive is the only complete collection of this material. The scope of this tender covers the bulk of the video collection, held on approximately 49,000 tapes of the Beta family amounting to approximately 90,000 hours in duration. The Authority requires a Contractor to develop a digitisation plan for this material, as well as storing the collection in a secure, climate controlled facility.
