## Summary

The British Film Institute is seeking a fully populated QNAP network-attached storage (NAS) device, including drives, for its National Archive Conservation Centre in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. The purchase includes installation into the centre’s operational network. This is a hardware supply and installation requirement, suited to businesses that provide enterprise storage equipment and can install and integrate it within an operational network. The site for delivery and installation is the BFI National Archive Conservation Centre in Berkhamsted.

The BFI invited offers through an open competition. The enquiry deadline was 26 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the tender submission deadline was 27 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The stated contract period runs from 28 to 31 October 2026. The estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT (£96,000 including VAT). The procurement is arranged as one lot. Award is based entirely on cost, after due diligence has been completed to the BFI’s satisfaction. An electronic auction is indicated as part of the process.

This requirement is most relevant to suppliers able to provide QNAP NAS equipment with drives and carry out installation within a live operational network. Competitors should be able to demonstrate that their proposed equipment and installation meet the BFI’s requirements through due diligence; price is the stated award basis once that review is satisfactory. The scope is a single-site supply and installation rather than a broader archive-services contract, making it relevant to storage hardware vendors, network and infrastructure integrators, and resellers working with installation partners. The work is concentrated at the BFI National Archive Conservation Centre in Berkhamsted. The notice does not set out particular certifications, technical staffing levels or prior-experience requirements, so suppliers should assess fit against the procurement documents.
