two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Museum requires a collections management system for the future that is able to sustain our organisation by:
• Improved information ingests and management capabilities in all aspects of collections management;
• The ongoing commitment to digitisation and open public access;
• A need for greater sharing of NHM data with external audiences and collaborators;
• Helping deal with increasing complexity of compliance with international conventions and with national and international legislation and regulations.
The Museum intends to invite tenders to provide and implement a next-generation collections management solution. Owing to the continued growth in information demands across the museum and scientific communities the Museum is actively seeking other sector suppliers including the ECM and CSP sectors.
