    Brief

    National Records of Scotland (NRS), a Non-Ministerial Department of the Scottish Government, is seeking information on replacement solutions for its collections management capabilities. NRS preserves and provides access to Scotland's national archives and historical records. The organization currently uses Axiell CALM as its primary collections management system, which supports accessioning, cataloguing, conservation, search room services, reader services, collection access, and online public discovery. As Axiell CALM reaches end-of-support on 31 December 2027, NRS must identify and implement a replacement solution before this date. This Request for Information (RFI) aims to understand the current market and determine whether suitable commercial solutions exist that can replace the current collections management capability and potentially consolidate several associated legacy applications into a more integrated platform. Suppliers are invited to provide information about their solutions, capabilities, and experience in supporting similar organizations. This is an information-gathering exercise only and does not constitute an Invitation to Tender.
