The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, and submissions must be received by 13th March 2019. This initiative falls within the services industry, specifically focusing on audio-visual and photographic apparatus, with a contract value of £20,000. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, accommodating a variety of businesses. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in audio-visual technology, sound installations, and exhibition equipment to engage with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Companies in the small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sectors are encouraged to participate. The project not only allows businesses to showcase their capabilities but also contributes to a significant historical campaign, providing a platform to attract new visitors to the memorial sites through innovative visitor experiences. ## Notice The Commission is seeking suppliers to support it's "Legacy of Liberation" Campaign which seeks to encourage new visitors to engage with our sites. The campaign can be broken into two strands. Strand 1: Voices of Liberation: Sound Archive In March 2019 CWGC will be launching its Crowdsourcing Project, called "Voices of Liberation". We plan to gather recordings, which explore and capture visitors and veteran's connection to CWGC sites, to create the Commission's first Online Sound Archive. The archive will explore visitor's connections to CWGC cemeteries connected to the historical anniversaries and the importance of visiting the graves and memorials of those who lost their lives during the Second World War, during the period of Liberation. We will also be collecting audio from Veterans who fought in this period and explore their connections to CWGC sites. Each historical anniversary will encourage the public to interact and contribute to the archive. Strand 2 - Voices of Liberation Sound Installation- Visit CWGC sites We want to encourage new visitors to engage with our sites. We will be using the sound archive collection to create visitor experiences at a collection of our Normandy sites, through a sound installation. Using the voice recordings, visitors will be able to experience our sites in new ways, touching on stories and experiences of others who are connected to the sites and exploring the D-Day Landings and Normandy campaign in a new way. Additional information: This tender will be conducted using the CWGC e-Procurement portal - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/cwgc/aspx/Home.
