## Summary

The Commission for Tertiary Education and Research (Medr) commissioned records information management services for the secure offsite storage of paper records transferred into its ownership after the dissolution of the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales, one of Medr’s predecessor organisations. The requirement covers records management services, including the handling and storage of physical records. The service is delivered in Wales for Medr, a Welsh public authority based in Cardiff. The arrangement relates to a single records information management services lot and is intended to support the secure retention and management of legacy institutional records. Additional services may include confidential destruction and extra storage capacity where required.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded to Restore PLC. Medr used a selective, below-threshold award under the GCA Records Information Management, Digital Solutions and Associated Services 2 framework, Lot 1; the award was non-competitive. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £13,333 excluding VAT, or £16,000 including VAT. The contract can be extended by four further 12-month periods, up to a maximum contract length of seven years. Options include additional storage and confidential destruction services. Restore PLC is the selected supplier for the entire lot.

For competitors, this award demonstrates a focused requirement for secure offsite paper-record storage and records management in Wales, rather than a broad digital transformation project. A credible supplier would need secure facilities and reliable processes for receiving, cataloguing, retrieving, protecting and ultimately disposing of physical records transferred from a public body. The requirement also indicates value in being able to scale storage when volumes change and to provide confidential destruction as an associated service. Experience delivering records information management for public-sector or similarly sensitive archives would help establish credibility. Suppliers seeking comparable work should also understand how to operate through relevant government frameworks and deliver a controlled service for inherited institutional records.
