Tender description

The University of Bristol is undertaking early market engagement to identify suppliers capable of delivering a replacement for Axiell CALM (archive management software) and CalmView (online archives catalogue), which will reach end-of-life in December 2027.

Please note: This is not a formal tender and does not commit the University to any procurement decision.

Suppliers are invited to complete the form to indicate whether their solution meets each requirement.
