## Summary

Wiltshire Council has completed a procurement process for the project titled "IT2387 National Database WW1 Service Tribunals," situated in Trowbridge, United Kingdom. This initiative falls under the industry category of library, archives, museums, and other cultural services, with an emphasis on creating a national database of World War One Military Appeal Tribunals data. The procurement reached the award stage on 18th March 2026, following initial tender activities, and was carried out under the legal framework stipulated by the Military Service Act 1916. The contract was signed with HJS Heritage on 13th March 2026, marking the commencement date, and is scheduled to conclude on 31st January 2028. The procurement method was below threshold and managed by Wiltshire Council's procurement unit.

This tender presents significant opportunities for cultural services providers, particularly SMEs, looking to engage in projects funded by heritage funds. The contract, valued at £36,000 with gross expenditure of £43,200, offers a comprehensive role for a Project Lead over a 104-day period to oversee the extraction and assembly of tribunal data. Businesses specialising in archival and historical consultancy, such as HJS Heritage, who was awarded the contract, can leverage such opportunities to expand their operational footprint within public heritage projects. This contract allows suitable businesses to collaborate closely with archive centres across England and Wales, fostering growth through involvement in historically significant and nationally collaborative projects.

## Notice

The National Lottery Heritage Fund have funded a collaborative project between fifteen archive services across England and Wales, led by the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre (WSHC), to work with records of World War One Military Appeal Tribunals which were held in response those appealing for exemption from conscription under the Military Service Act 1916 which made every male British subject aged 18-41 liable to be called for military service (prior to this men would voluntarily attest their willingness to serve). The project "Grounds for Appeal: First World War Military Service Appeal Tribunals in Great Britain" will create a national database for key data extracted from applications made to the Tribunals for exemption from military service including names, ages, occupation, employer, grounds under which the appeal was made, and the decision of the Tribunal. A Project Lead is required to be contracted for 104 days, over a 24 month period. The role of Project Officer will have responsibility for managing delivery of the project outputs and will work closely with the WSHC project lead and the Historical Consultant.
