Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council is currently in the planning stage of a tender titled "Newport Roman Villa Soft Market Testing," aimed at exploring the viability of a future procurement exercise for the management and operation of the Newport Roman Villa. This soft market test is designed to gather insights from the market, with an engagement end date set for 28th May 2021. The procurement falls under the recreational, cultural and sporting services industry category, with the activity taking place in Newport, South East, United Kingdom.

This opportunity is ideal for businesses with experience in managing heritage or cultural facilities, particularly those capable of delivering innovative solutions to enhance visitor engagement and facility operations without incurring costs for the council. Companies that can demonstrate a successful track record in similar environments may find this engagement beneficial, as it seeks input on methods to maintain museum accreditation while increasing annual visitor numbers and improving the overall value of the Roman Villa as an educational resource. The process allows for limited dialogue, which presents a unique opportunity for businesses to showcase their capabilities to the council.
