This initiative falls under the services category within the information technology industry and is based in London, UK. The tender is in the active stage, having been published on 6th December 2021, with a submission deadline set for 10th January 2022. The selected contractor will contribute to developing features that improve exploration, search, and user interaction on the museum's digital platform, with the contract expected to run from 31st January 2022 to 31st July 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure, indicating that all interested parties can submit proposals. This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in digital transformation, website development, and user experience design, particularly those with experience in cataloguing services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate relevant expertise in enhancing digital collections, as well as providing computer catalogue conversion services, will be well-positioned to compete. As the Science Museum Group aims to significantly increase the accessibility and interactivity of their online collections, businesses that can deliver innovative solutions in this space have a chance to contribute to an important cultural initiative and expand their market presence. ## Notice The Science Museum Group's online collection will be five years old in December 2021. In half a decade, the site has undergone continuous enhancements, including the addition of new features like deep zoom, 3D object scans, video and audio players. The quantity of digitised objects has expanded rapidly, with One Collection delivering the vast majority of new records and images. From a base of 5% of the collection online with an image, we reached 35% in November 2021, and the work outlined below should take us to 63% by 2023. The audience for the online collection is also growing, with visits now exceeding 100,000 each month. In response to the growth in content and users, the next phase of Collections Online must focus on improving user experience: exploration, search and discovery, while the One Collection digitisation programme continues to add breadth. This project must also consider the longer-term roadmap for online collections (archive digitisation, born digital collections, etc.) and will establish foundations for these initiatives in the decade ahead.
