OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPLY DIGITAL COPIES OF COURT JUDGMENTS TO THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES (MULTIPLE CONTRACTS AVAILABLE)

Descriptions

The National Archives (TNA) is seeking to secure for the nation the historical public record of the decisions of the senior courts and upper tribunals by acquiring, through purchase or donation, digital copies of Court Judgments and Tribunal Decisions. These will be preserved for posterity and made available for public access, including, where it is appropriate to do so, by publication as part of a new service on The National Archives website. , The scope of this tender is to acquire digital copies of Court Judgments and Tribunal Decisions, with a particular focus on published judgments. These might be born digital copies of handed down judgments (for example those which have been sent to law reporters or legal publishers by the clerk or judge), digital transcriptions of extempore judgments, or digitised images of the paper records of judgments (including from publications). , TNA wishes to procure multiple, overlapping sets of judgements and tribunal decisions for corroboration purposes. As such, TNA envisages awarding multiple contracts as a result of this procurement exercise, the number of contracts awarded being dependent on the volume and quality of submissions received and on affordability within the total allocated budget of circa £500,000.
