Tender description

Dorset History Centre (DHC) is the home of the Joint Archives Service which operates on behalf of Dorset Council and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP). DHC currently leads a consortium of nine local authority archive services working together to access a digital preservation system. The Consortium seeks to procure an active digital preservation system which mitigates risks to digital information requiring long-term or permanent preservation. The Service Specification outlines our collective requirements for a digital preservation system which we require to be fully functioning June 2022. Digital preservation refers to the series of managed activities necessary to ensure continued access to digital materials for as long as necessary, beyond the limits of media failure or technological and organisational change. Digital preservation is related to, but separate from the day-to-day management of electronic records.
