Automated Distribution and Manufacturing Centre (ADMC) Procurement Early Engagement Notice Purpose This notice is to make potential contractors aware that, via the Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC) procurement team, Ashfield District Council (ADC) will commence a process to appoint a commercial operator for their Automated Distribution and Manufacturing Centre (ADMC). The publication of this notice commences the preliminary market engagement stage of the procurement process. The procurement is expected to follow a Competitive Flexible Procedure, based on the Procurement Act 2023. Background The ADMC is a flagship project for Ashfield District Council. The ADMC will work with businesses to create and implement bespoke automation strategies and solutions that improve productivity and enable prosperity and growth. The ADMC will be a 3,000m2 purpose built, multifunctional, automation centre. Its vision is based on four "pillars" of activity: • Research and Development • Prototyping and Proof of Principle • Showcasing and Demonstration • Skills and Training The ADMC will be at the centre of a cluster of automation businesses, some of which will be located on the adjacent Ashfield Innovation and Technology Park that is also in development. The ADMC building is expected to be completed by December 2027. More details can be found on the ADMC website at www.theadmc.co.uk. Proposed Governance and Operation ADC confirmed its positioning regarding governance and operation of the ADMC in January 2025. It has resolved to carry out a public procurement procedure to appoint an external organisation to run the ADMC. ADC believe that this contracted approach will allow the ADMC to be operated effectively and efficiently such that it achieves its twin goals of supporting the greater adoption of automation within local and regional businesses and achieving financial sustainability. A previous procurement process to appoint an operator for the ADMC took place in late 2025. This process was ultimately unsuccessful in appointing an operator due to a combination of factors including feedback from potential bidders about the scope of the contract as well as subsidy and compliance issues. ADC aims to have a commercial operator appointed in 2027. Preliminary Market Engagement stage of the Procurement Process The procurement is expected to follow a Competitive Flexible Procedure, following the Procurement Act 2023. This notice commences the procurement process via a preliminary market engagement stage. The preliminary market engagement stage is intended to allow potential contractors to gain a more detailed understanding of the ADMC, its progress, and the procurement process being undertaken. It will also support NCC and ADC to develop the first stage tender by helping to: • Develop the requirements and approach to the procurement. • Design the conditions of participation and award criteria. • Inform the scope of works being contracted and whether these works should be split into separate lots. • Prepare the tender notice and associated tender documents. • Identify likely contractual terms. • Building capacity in relation to the contract being awarded. NCC/ADC proposes to run initial group engagement events via Teams on two dates: • Tuesday 10th November 10:00 - 11:00 • Thursday 12th November 10:00 - 11:00 Further events may be run before the end of November 2026 as demand requires. NCC/ADC will be having individual discussions with potential contractors. Contractors will be invited to express an interest in being part of those discussions following the group engagement events. All information and material collected from these pre-market engagement activities will be documented and form part of the subsequent tender pack, respecting commercial confidentiality.

The Ministry of Justice, through His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS), is undertaking preliminary market engagement to support consideration of a potential legacy archive recovery and digitisation requirement relating to historic index records currently held on obsolete media. HMCTS holds a substantial archive of historic index records, primarily across microfiche and cassette media. The current estimated scope includes approximately 20,000 microfiche sheets containing around 2 million records, and 658 cassette media units containing around 6.5 million records. The total estimated archive is therefore approximately 8.5 million records. There are also historic records held in books, although these are currently considered lower volume and lower priority than the microfiche and cassette records. The current arrangements rely on legacy physical and digital media, manual search activity, local operational knowledge and ageing technology. This creates challenges around retrieval speed, consistency, resilience, future access, preservation and the continued availability of the underlying information. HMCTS is therefore exploring market capability that could support the controlled recovery, digitisation, extraction, validation, indexing and searchability of these historic records. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to improve HMCTS’ understanding of market capability relating to: • inventory, cataloguing and condition assessment of microfiche and cassette media; • technical discovery of cassette formats, data structures, hardware or software dependencies and recoverability; • high-resolution microfiche digitisation; • recovery and extraction of data from cassette media; • image enhancement, OCR, intelligent data extraction and confidence scoring; • creation of a common target data model across recovered and digitised records; • validation, de-duplication, exception handling and quality assurance; • secure repository and search capability, including access controls, audit logging and reporting; • service transition, user guidance, business change and benefits tracking. Through this RFI, HMCTS is seeking to better understand: • available market capability and supplier capacity; • how relevant services are normally delivered, for example through specialist digitisation services, legacy media recovery, data extraction, repository/search solutions, managed technical services, consultancy, integration support or mixed delivery models; • indicative discovery, pilot, implementation and delivery approaches; • potential commercial models, procurement routes and phasing options; • legal, data protection, security, records management and information assurance considerations; • indicative costs, cost drivers, timescales, dependencies and delivery risks; • the extent to which existing storage, records management or archive services could support or influence a future delivery route. This RFI is deliberately focused on market capability, technical feasibility and delivery evidence. HMCTS is not asking suppliers to design the future service or make policy, legal, retention, disposal or public access decisions at this stage. Any future capability would need to operate within appropriate HMCTS governance, records management, data protection, security, information assurance, auditability and access control arrangements. This RFI is an evidence-gathering activity only. It is not a request for a quotation, proposal or tender, and it should not be treated as a commitment to any future procurement. The issuing of this RFI does not commit HMCTS or MoJ to procure any services, software, data platforms or solutions; does not indicate any supplier preference; and does not create exclusivity or advantage for suppliers who respond. Responses will be used solely to inform HMCTS’ understanding of the market, possible future delivery options, recoverability of legacy media, business case development, affordability, assurance considera…
