In plain English
The British Film Institute needs new software to replace an old system that tracks who accesses and works with items in their film archive. The software must let staff request access, log what work happens on each item, and generate reports. It's for internal use only and handles no money or sensitive data.
What the buyer wants
• Supply and implement software that tracks requests and activities on archive collection items • Provide reporting tools so staff can see what work has been done on each item • Ensure the system works for the BFI's internal teams managing research viewings, member bookings, donor access, and restoration projects
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract strongly favours software development or specialist archive system vendors with proven experience in cultural institutions. A one-person business or tradesperson without software development expertise will struggle to compete.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
