## Summary

The procurement process for the Heritage Hub Project undertaken by Historic Environment Scotland involved a selective procurement method through a restricted procedure. The project aimed to enhance user experience by consolidating and improving access to historical data across different platforms. The buying organisation, Historic Environment Scotland, based in Edinburgh, UK, sought a partner to develop a Digital Experience Platform to facilitate better data accessibility. The tender, titled "Heritage Hub Project," focused on the services category and was completed with a contract worth £1,751,000 signed on June 1, 2022.

The Heritage Hub Project tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specializing in digital platforms, data integration, and user-centered design. Companies with expertise in technology solutions for heritage, conservation, and tourism sectors would be well-suited to compete in this procurement. With a focus on quality and cost criteria, the project's aim to streamline and present information in a user-friendly manner opens avenues for innovative technology providers to support Historic Environment Scotland's digital transformation. The submission deadline was set for October 19, 2021, providing potential partners with a defined timeframe to engage and participate in this business opportunity.

## Notice

The Heritage Hub project seeks to maximise the value of our information for our internal and extenal users. Heritage Hub is not simply a technology solution. We are looking to transform the way our people, customers and citizens access the myriad of data sets we have available and to transform how people access HES digitally. We are looking for a partner who will help us develop this enhanced experience and implement the technology to support Heritage Hub. Access to our data is spread across a large number of sites and hosted in a number of back-end systems making it difficult to find all that we hold on any given historic place or subject. The data we hold is not easily searched from any single location, and it is difficult to search and navigate, with the same place or subject often called different names. Heritage Hub will be a user-centred project, focusing on joining and presenting all of our information in one place, in a way that is easy to use. The Digital Experience Platform will allow us to bring many of our services together, increase access and provide users (internal and external) an end-to-end journey in one place. It is not expected that these back-end systems will be replaced within the scope of this work
