## Summary

Leicester City Council is currently engaged in a tender process for a project titled "King Richard III," which aims to use augmented reality to enhance the visitor experience at the Visitor Centre. The project falls under the industry category of software package and information systems, with a total value of £108,000. The tender period is set to close on 23 February 2022, with the contract anticipated to commence on 8 July 2022 and last until 11 July 2022. This opportunity is particularly relevant for organisations based in the United Kingdom, specifically in Leicester.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in augmented reality, software development, or digital solutions aimed at enhancing visitor engagement. Particularly well-suited are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can demonstrate capacity in delivering innovative technological solutions. Engaging in this project could expand a business's portfolio while contributing to the cultural experience provided by Leicester City Council.

## Notice

The proposal is to use augmented reality to superimpose a computer-generated image / animation on a visitor's view of the real world from the 'Glass Box' viewing area on the first floor of the Visitor Centre to portray the medieval friary at the time of Richard III's burial in contrast to the present-day view.
