This Tender is for the Scanning and digitisation of the Physical records, creation of a digital database, retrieval software and destruction of most of the records once scanned. Some physical records are required post scanning, e.g. Registrars records. Given the large volume of activity at the beginning of the contract, co-ordinating the transfer of the physical records from the incumbent supplier, the digitisation of those records (estimated 40million pages) and set up of the Digital Records Solution - it is anticipated the vast majority of expenditure (86%) of the estimated contract costs for the scheduled 8-year contract term will be incurred within the first 12-18 months of the contract. The contract duration is a maximum 8-year term, with provision for early termination from the end of the second year, where it is anticipated the digitisation process of existing physical records would have been completed.

Renewal: The contract duration is a maximum 8-year term commencing 1 August 2023, with provision for early termination from the end of the second year, where it is anticipated the digitisation process of existing physical records would have been completed.
