As I understand the text of the call it’s agnostic as to how the analysis is primarily carried out. The balance of human/ machine effort and the chosen approach is up to the bidder.

Just one thing to add: the blog post from Lorna(*) that the call for bids links to describes textual analysis through "a semantic analysis tool such as Open Calais". But we don't want to pre-judge proposals based on our preconceptions of how they might work.

With regards to Pat's comment about collection managers being constrained by what their system can do (and with the same caveat about pre-judging) I would hope that if someone thinks that suitability for mobile devices is important then they would mention it in the description field and so it would be picked up by free text analysis.
