Notice Description
Provision of Audio Guide Hardware Maintenance and Content Production
Lot Information
Lot 1
Historic Environment Scotland requires a supplier to manage and maintain audio guide hardware and content at our Properties in Care. This covers proactive and reactive maintenance of our existing hardware, including replacement where required. The contract further includes the planning, development and production of new high-quality audio-guide tours and changes, updates and additions to existing tours. The contract also involves providing and hosting versions of the tours for visitors' own devices, including upkeep of existing products and the development of new ones. The contract will also include multimedia elements on the tours including images, video, and other functionality.
Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations. The Contracting Authority may at its sole discretion exercise this option.
Renewal: Following the initial 3 year period there will be the option to extend the contract for three periods of 24 months each, with a final option to extend for 12 months after this (3+2+2+2+1). If all extensions are activated the total contract length would be ten years. The estimated value given is the estimated value of the contract in the event that all extension options are taken up.
