This tender, identified by MR27/1, aimed to evaluate various interpretation projects under a framework developed in 2023. The process involved a competitive quotation method, and the contract was awarded to MEL Research Limited. The contract period spans from 17 June 2024 to 13 December 2024, with key milestones including an evaluation of projects like Belsay Hall, Dover Castle, Grimes Graves, and Chesters Roman Fort.

Notice Title

Interpretation Evaluation Research 2024/25

Notice Description

The role of this research is to evaluate the 2024 Interpretation projects according to the framework developed in 2023. This will include a review of the framework to implement 'lessons learned' from last year's pilot and identify any refinements needed to cater for this year's projects. The projects for inclusion in the research are: * Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens: New site-wide interpretation as part of the Belsay Awakes project * Dover Castle: The Dover Castle: Under Siege project. * Grimes Graves - Prehistoric Flint Mine: The Grimes Graves Project * Chesters Roman Fort and Museum - Hadrian's Wall: Bridget Atkinson's Shell Collection More information about each project is provided in the appendix, and full briefings on all projects will be given to the successful agency on appointment. Ideally these will be accompanied by site tours. 2. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES The overarching objectives of this research are: * Part 1 (10-20%): A review and refining of last year's evaluation approach, to be carried out with English Heritage's Interpretation and Insight teams and covering 'lessons learned' and questions arising from last year's research. * Part 2: (80%-90%): Evaluation of the 2024 projects using the Interpretation Evaluation framework. This will need to include both evaluations of the individual projects and an overall 'national' report to feed into KPI reporting.
