Web Archiving Services

The buyer requires a vendor to provide comprehensive web archiving services for an existing web archive comprising over 140 curated collections and more than 3,500 websites or seed URLs. The scope demands a crawl management tool that enables staff to independently configure, run, monitor, and edit metadata for ad-hoc crawls, while generating reports for failed captures. The vendor must provide a standalone public access portal accessible through a specified subdomain for all past and future archived content. Additionally, the vendor must supply a URL captures API and a full-text search results API to support external integration. Technical preservation duties require the vendor to perform periodic fixity checks and report any violations. Regarding eligibility, the buyer restricts participation to onshore Ireland vendors only. The selected vendor will perform all work offsite. The buyer accepts digital responses via email or online, and bidders must submit a proposal outlining their budget. The provided text details no additional evaluation criteria or key dates.
