The National Army Museum (NAM) is inviting software vendors to tender for the supply and ongoing support for a new Digital Asset Management system.The Museum implemented as asset folder structure to support the deployment of its digital collections management system in 1998. The structure was designed for storing and organising unique assets for algorithm-based retrieval, as well as offering tools and scripts for generating variant-sized versions and derivatives. These were developed and maintained in-house by the Museum's Technical Services team.   The Museum now wishes to procure a new Asset Management System building on the existing numerous resources ('buckets') of digital assets.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 92. The category anchor is Library services (92511000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 927723 median · 23.3 average (135 of 772 with a bid count)2.6 average (155 of 772 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
