What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Government manages the records of the former British Coal Corporation. This is
a combination of business documents and personal data which includes a significant
number of historic occupational health claims files. In part, this is to enable us to
respond to disease/illness personal injury claims arising from working for the
Corporation pre-privatisation in 1994. We also have a duty to ensure that the
information is kept safe and is managed securely.
We require a service that enables:
- secure storage of over 2.8m physical records and 47m digital records
- the ability to retrieve these promptly and to provide them to the public and the
Department’s contractors as appropriate
- scanning of physical records for onward processing
- preparation and transfer of records to The National Archives
- disposal of records no longer required
- the hosting of a digital platform that allows contractors to access records
- the facility to search documents in terms of categories, e.g various types of
colliery minutes and key work searches.
