## About this tender

The Library is seeking information to assist the implementation of a Collection Management Solution, to manage the processes of acquiring, describing, preserving and enabling access to our collections. The solution we are seeking must be efficient and extensible, capable of managing the large amounts of complex metadata and content described above, and integrating the various specialist components in a shared collection management and discovery infrastructure via standardised interfaces to internal and external users.

We need to know what technologies and/or services might be suitable, together with indicative costs of the system, its implementation, support and maintenance. The Library is therefore inviting potential vendors to provide information on the potential options available for provision of components of the proposed Collection Management Solution.

We invite vendors responding to this RFI to provide as much information relating to the requirements specified as they see fit, on the understanding that no single system may fulfil all of them.
