With a total procurement budget of 3.4 million euros, ARCHIVER will use a Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) approach to competitively procure R&D services for archiving and digital preservation
An Open Market Consultation (OMC) process is organised before the publication of the Request for Tender in order to improve the mutual understanding of the R&D challenges across procurer organisations and industry.
ARCHIVER will competitively procure R&D services from firms in three stages covering design, prototyping and pilot between January 2019 and December 2021
