ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT & RECORDS MANAGEMENT (EDRM) CONTRACT

Tender description

1.1 The purpose of this Procurement Process is for The National Archives (TNA) to select a Supplier to deliver an Electronic Document & Records Management (EDRM) solution for its corporate information. TNA intends this to replace its current, on-premise EDRM solution. 1.2 Our aim is to shift from an internally-hosted EDRM to a cloud solution, in line with Government Digital Service (GDS) standards and TNA's own IT strategy. It is imperative that TNA is able to maintain rigorous compliance with relevant legislation, including its own obligations to transfer records under the Public Records Act, but the new solution should also meet additional business requirements such as the ability to share data with external organisations in a controlled manner. 1.3 Whilst TNA's strong preference is for the EDRM solution to be delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS), Potential Suppliers may submit solutions using alternative architecture such as an on-premise or hybrid model. 1.4 TNA intends to award the EDRM Contract for an initial period of three years, with options to extend for two further periods of up to twelve months each (3+1+1).
