Notice Information
Notice Title
Digitisation of Organisation Health Checker for Museum Futures programme
Notice Description
MGS seeks to appoint an individual or organisation to create a digital version of its Organisational Health Checker ("OHC"). A copy of the current OHC will be provided separately to this Invitation to Tender. The appointed contractor will collaborate closely with the Museum Futures team to develop the digital version. Originally developed specifically for the Museum Futures programme, the OHC supports museums in identifying their strengths, weaknesses and development opportunities. Available on the MGS website as a downloadable Word (.docx) file, the OHC is designed to help organisations in the museum sector determine priority areas for improvement and to enable as many organisations as possible to engage effectively with the programme. Museums interested in accessing tailored support, advice and funding can complete the OHC via Microsoft Word and return it electronically to the MGS team. This process is overly labour intensive and a more streamlined solution is required. MGS is therefore seeking to develop a digital version of the tool that incorporates the learning gained from piloting the Word based format. Although the digital tool will be developed for the Scottish museum sector, this tender opportunity is available to contractors located outside of Scotland. **Further details are available in the Invitation to Tender available at the Additional Documents section**
