Periodically we release tender opportunities to licence, digitise, transcribe and publish National Archives records.
Successful bidders will be awarded a non-exclusive commercial license to digitise the records, transcribe all data and publish those records online for commercial exploitation, in return for royalties paid to the licensor. The winning bidder will be required to cover all costs incurred in bringing the project online.
