    Brief

    His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) is conducting market research to understand how to recover and digitise approximately 8.5 million historic index records currently stored on obsolete media formats including microfiche sheets and cassette tapes. The service is seeking supplier input on technical capabilities for cataloguing, digitising, extracting data, enhancing images, validating records, and creating a searchable repository. HMCTS is exploring solutions that could include specialist digitisation services, legacy media recovery, data extraction, repository and search platforms, managed services, and consultancy support. This Request for Information is designed to gather evidence about market capability, technical feasibility, delivery approaches, commercial models, cost drivers, and implementation timescales. The response will inform HMCTS' understanding of available options, business case development, and future procurement strategy. This is an information-gathering exercise only and does not constitute a commitment to procure services or indicate supplier preferences.
