Opportunity to Supply a Microfilm Scanner to the Valuation Office Agency

The VOA holds a large number of historic records on microfilm. The organisation is legally obliged to retain these records for long periods of time, but frequently has need of the stored information when doing business as usual casework.

The business has hitherto made use of an all-in-one microfilm viewer and printer to retrieve stored information, but this machine is no longer fit for purpose. The VOA requires a modern, digital solution.

Additional information: The VOA requires a machine that can electronically scan microfilms. The machine must be:

- compatible with 3M Cartridge Microfilm System cassettes, with a tape width of 16mm; - compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 10 PC systems; - capable of outputting the scanned images as PDF files; - supplied with a comprehensive instruction manual that can facilitate in-house installation, set-up, and use; - powered by either mains electricity or the PC to which it is connected; - light enough in weight to be lifted and carried by a single individual.

The VOA requires delivery of the machine no later than 05/03/2018.
