## Description
National Records of Scotland (NRS) is a Non-Ministerial Department of the Scottish
Government. Our purpose is to collect, preserve and produce information about
Scotland's people and history and make it available to inform current and future
generations. This includes selecting, preserving and making available the national
archives of Scotland.
NRS currently relies upon Axiell CALM as its primary collections management system.
The system forms part of a wider Access and Collections Management ecosystem
supporting accessioning, cataloguing, conservation, search room services, reader
services, collection access and online public discovery. Axiell CALM reaches end-of-
support on 31 December 2027, creating a requirement to identify and implement a
replacement solution before this date.
This Request for Information (RFI) is intended to help NRS understand the current
market and determine whether suitable commercial solutions exist that can replace
the current collections management capability and potentially consolidate a number of
associated legacy applications into a more integrated platform.
This exercise is a Request for Information only and does not constitute an Invitation to
Tender.
