What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Keeper of Public Records and Chief Executive of The National Archives (TNA), is appointed by the Secretary of State for DCMS under the Public Record Act 1958. The Keeper has a broad duty to take all practicable steps for the preservation of public records and also to provide reasonable facilities for the public to inspect and access public records.

Over the last 25 years an important part of the public record has been published on the web. TNA delivers a service to capture these records and make them available to the public. The operating model involves an in-house team alongside a contract for the provision of web archiving services. The contracted services involve crawling government websites, storing the contents in the UKGWA and making the contents available to the public. These records also provide valuable contextual information for other records when they are eventually made available by TNA.
