What is being bought

Published requirement description

Procurement of the AM Digital Quartex Digital Microfilm Viewing Solutions for The Story visitors to view scanned images.

This contract is to increase the value of an existing contract which has been in place since May 2024. The storage requirements for the data have increased since the contract started (Increase digital footprint to 5TB, originally anticipated 1TB) and will require an increase in contract value from 40,730 to 71,926 (31,196 difference).

When this contract was implemented in 2024, there were no other suppliers identified who could meet the requirements and this further direct award is tied to the originally functionality.

Schedule 5 s7b, permitted justification for a Direct Award due to additional data storage services being required, where a change of supplier would result in disproportionate technical difficulties
