This initiative falls under the museum-exhibition services industry category, based in Swindon, United Kingdom. The procurement method is a selective one, employing a restricted procedure that is above threshold with a contract value of £120,000. The tender period concludes on 11th October 2019, while the contract duration is set to begin on 1st November 2019 and will extend until 30th June 2022. This tender presents a significant opportunity for design consultancy firms specialising in interpretation and exhibition services to enhance their business portfolio. Companies with expertise in creative design, particularly those familiar with historical sites and museum services, will find this project ideal for collaboration. The emphasis on increasing visitor access and improving the overall visitor experience at Dover Castle aligns with the capabilities of small to medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their influence in the public procurement space. ## Notice In 2021 English Heritage intends to open a major new interpretation and play scheme at Dover Castle, centred on the siege of 1216 and events in the 18th and 19th centuries when the threat of war overseas led to a heavy investment in the castle. Geographically the focus will be on increasing visitor access around the northern end of the site around the Spur, including the Ravelin, Redan, Spur casemates and Medieval Tunnels. This will be phase 1 of a Master Plan for the site and will be accompanied by developments to improve the car parking and catering offer at the Castle. The Interpretation and Play scheme is fully integrated, however, the Play and Interpretation Designer are two separate disciplines on the project and are expected to co-ordinate. The winning tenderer on this project will be to act as Interpretation Designer only.
