DR’s collection of ¼" audiotapes must be digitised to preserve it as a cultural heritage. Digitisation needs to be done without loss of media essence or metadata.
• The tapes are from 1950s to 2006. It is mainly published programs within all genres. However, it also includes unpublished productions, e.g. concert recordings.
• The reels are mostly 10” (app. 80 %) and 7” (app. 20 %). A small amount is 5” or even smaller reels (<5 %).
• Each tape is held in a cardboard box. Each box may also hold paper describing the contents of the tape, small booklets and other audio-formats than a ¼" audiotape.
• Tapes are mostly stereo. Older tapes are mono. Small subcollections may contain 2 or 4 track recordings.
• Tapes are mostly filled with content but may also have various length of blank tape after true content.
• Overall, the tapes are in good condition and recordings are of broadcast quality done by professional technicians.
• All boxes that are easily identified as other formats than ¼” audiotapes have been removed by DR before packing. But some smaller formats could be stored in the ¼” audiotape boxes and have not been located and removed.
• All tapes are stored in cardboard boxes for transport. Each box contains around 28 tapes all with the barcodes visible for easy scanning. The cardboard boxes are owned by DR. Ownership of the cardboard boxes passes to the supplier and the boxes should not to be returned to DR.
• Cardboard boxes are barcoded and stored in containers (standard containers, 20 feet long). The containers are owned by Holger Danske Flytteforretning.
For not having to perform the extensive testing testing control more than once, the contract is not suited for division.
The tenderer must have a minimum turnover equivalent of DKK 4 million from the latest concluded financial year. If the tenderers turnover is measured in a currency other than DKK, the exchange rate from the date of conclusion of the latest financial year is applied to determine if the Tenderer fulfils the turnover requirement.
