Scope
Description
As an Accredited museums service, Leicester Museums and Galleries uses a specialised Collections Management System (CMS) to manage the information it holds about the objects in its permanent collection and any items that it has on loan, both past and present. We currently hold a wide range of objects in our collection ranging from natural history items, fine art, archaeology, geology, technology, decorative arts, social history, amongst other things.
The Council is seeking to collate information on a solution which will deliver and future proof the current functionality and additionally provide flexibility to exploit the use of new technology where this provides benefit to the business, in relation to providing a Collections Management System (CMS) solution for our Museums Service.
