Archive Collections Management System

The University of Bristol is undertaking early market engagement to identify suppliers capable of delivering a replacement for Axiell CALM (archive management software) and CalmView (online archives catalogue), which will reach end-of-life in December 2027. The University manages two distinct archival collections-Special Collections and the Theatre Collection-each with separate operational needs and public identities. Any proposed solution must support the independent management, cataloguing, and public access of both collections, maintaining distinct staff-facing and public-facing interfaces. A critical requirement is seamless integration with Preservica, the University's digital preservation platform, to ensure continuity of digital preservation workflows and alignment with our long-term strategy. Please note: This is not a formal tender and does not commit the University to any procurement decision. Please note the University Of Bristol is not a Contracting Authority as defined by PA2023
