## Summary

The British Film Institute is buying and integrating two EditShare hardware components to expand its existing EditShare system into a cluster with a dedicated Metadata Controller server. This is a hardware supply and integration requirement, covering data-processing equipment, hardware and servers. The equipment is for the Institute’s existing EditShare estate; the procurement gives London as the buyer’s location but does not identify a separate delivery site.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition, with an electronic auction. The deadline for questions was 19 October 2026 at 12:00, and bids were due by 21 October 2026 at 12:00. The stated contract period runs from 23 to 30 October 2026. The estimated value is £160,000 excluding VAT (£192,000 including VAT). The requirement is presented as one lot. Bids are evaluated on the basis of the most advantageous tender, weighted at 100%.

This opportunity is best suited to suppliers able to provide EditShare-compatible hardware and integrate it with an existing EditShare installation, including configuring a clustered system with a dedicated Metadata Controller server. Relevant capability includes supplying data-processing hardware and servers and completing a focused integration within a short delivery window. Suppliers should be able to participate in an electronic auction and submit their offer through the buyer’s online tendering system. The published requirement does not set out a particular accreditation, minimum capacity or prior-experience threshold, so the key commercial fit is demonstrable technical ability to deliver and integrate the specified components.

## Notice

We seek to procure and integrate two new EditShare hardware components in order to expand and integrate our existing EditShare estate to form a cluster with a dedicated Metadata Controller server.
