National Galleries Scotland (NGS) proudly displays collection artworks and exhibitions within three Galleries across four main sites - The Scottish National Gallery (SNG), The Scottish National Portrait Gallery (SNPG) and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (SNGMA) (Modern One and Modern Two). The Service Provider is required to conduct Audience Research to provide insight and analysis about both visitors and non-visitors in order to support the organisation's Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), special projects and inform organisation-wide strategic planning. For full details of the Contract Requirements please refer to the associated Tender and Contract Documents. There is no commitment to a volume of work. Under this agreement, no minimum workload is guaranteed. Services will be agreed to on an \"as required\" basis. The Tenderer will have no claim against NGS if they are not instructed to carry out any of the services. The agreement will be non-exclusive i.e. NGS reserves the right, in certain circumstances, to procure out with the Contract Agreement, as and when required. In the event of unsatisfactory performance by the successful Service Provider and the termination of the contract by either party, NGS reserves the right to negotiate the continuance of the services with the second and third placed Service Providers. The Service Provider must have a clear understanding of the contract requirements and the organisational needs of NGS. As part of the tender exercise, the Service Provider must detail a robust, flexible methodology that will meet all data capture requirements.",

Economic Operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. This procurement will utilise Scottish Government's Cyber Security Procurement Support Tool (CSPST). There are minimum requirements concerning Cyber Security for this contract to which a pass/fail will attach. Tenderers will be required to complete an online Supplier Assurance Questionnaire (SAQ) using the CSPST. A link to the CSPST can be found here: https://cyberassessment.gov.scot/ The questionnaire will be aligned to a Cyber Risk Profile that has been established for the contract, based on NGS's assessment of cyber risk. For this contract, minimum requirements also include ISO 27001 (or equivalent) and Cyber Essentials Plus (or equivalent) accreditation. The Service Provider must already hold valid certification, or be willing to achieve such within 12 months of the contract award date. Further details are set out in the procurement documents. A contract condition for this procurement requires the Tenderer to comply with the minimum security requirements. Additional information: All Tenderers will be invited to provide a presentation. Full details are provided in the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document. It is currently anticipated that presentations will take place during the week commencing 24th January 2022 (this date may be subject to change).",
