In plain English

Historic England wants an outside consultancy to review how it licenses, publishes and charges for reuse of its digital collections and datasets through the Creative Content Exchange, a programme for making this content available commercially. The consultant would recommend ways to make this reuse legally sound and sustainable, including opportunities for licensing content for AI use.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out a strategic review of the current licensing, governance, pricing and commercial arrangements for its digital collections and datasets • Identify legal and operational risks and opportunities, and benchmark against sector best practice • Provide practical recommendations for compliant, sustainable commercial reuse, including AI-related licensing

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific qualifications or certifications, but the work is specialist, so a small firm without demonstrable experience in commercial licensing of heritage or digital content, legal risk assessment and AI-related data reuse would most likely be ruled out.

Always check the tender documents.
