## Description

The British Museum is looking to replace its Digital Asset Management System \(DAMS\)\. The DAMS is a critical internal system that stores and distributes images across numerous systems and departments\. As well as facilitating research and education, it also enables commercial image sales, and provides material for marketing content\. Whilst the DAMS is internal facing it also supplies images to public facing systems, notably the Museum's online collection database, Collections Online\. The scope of this procurement includes the following activities: a\) Configuration of a new cloud based DAMS operating on a SaaS basis \(and associated consulting services\), b\) Migration of existing assets & metadata from the existing on premises DAMS to the new cloud based DAMS, c\) Integration of the new DAMS with other Museum systems, d\) Ongoing support for the new DAMS\. The estimated total contract value is based on a maximum contract duration of 10 years and assumptions relating to the volume of data that will be stored in the DAMS over that period so should be treated as being indicative only\.
