    Brief

    Historic England is conducting preliminary market engagement to gather information about Digital Preservation System (DPS) solutions before developing future procurement requirements. This engagement aims to: understand available DPS solutions and their features; identify common and differentiating capabilities across vendors; learn about implementation approaches and timelines; explore pricing models and support options; and inform the development of future procurement specifications. This is a research and information-gathering exercise only and does not constitute a formal procurement or indicate a preference for any particular supplier. Suppliers interested in participating should be prepared to discuss their DPS offerings, implementation experience, and service models.
