Highways have been digitising all of their paper records and have now had approval to scan approximately 30,000 microfiche of both documents and plans that require digitizing and referencing. This will then allow these records to be georeferenced in mapping systems or hyperlinked to records allowing a much wider use of the current records. This contract will be for a period of up to 3 months. The successful provider is required to: o All the microfiche will need to be collected from a specified location in Birmingham. They will need to be scanned according to their type to the appropriate quality and file size. They will also need be referenced according to the referencing used on the microfiche. o It is to be agreed with the contracted supplier how the newly created digital records are supplied. However, this process needs to allow the transfer of these documents to our archive servers as easily as possible. o We require that the completed scanning be returned in batches as our work is ongoing. This will allow us to verify the quality as well as make practical use of the records. Further to this, we require a 'scan-back' service for records that we urgently require as part of our research. o On project completion, we will also require the physical microfiche to be returned to us for permanent storage.
