The tender, an open procedure and classified under services with a scope value between £50,000 and £100,000, was published on 20th November 2017, and submissions are due by 11th December 2017. The contract is set to commence on 8th January 2018 and will run for three years, covering crucial design and execution elements for signage and wayfinding requirements. This contract presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in design and implementation of signage systems, particularly those with experience in visitor-facing environments like museums, parks, and events venues. Companies that can demonstrate a capability in creating user-friendly wayfinding solutions and providing temporary signage for various events, such as weddings and conferences, would be particularly suited to compete for this tender. Engaging in this competitive process could significantly contribute to business growth in the public sector design services landscape. ## Notice The Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew is a world leading botanic garden with two main sites, Kew Gardens Richmond and Wakehurst, Sussex. This contract will cover both sites with the audit sections of this brief to occur simultaneously across both sites. The aims of this contract are: * To improve the visitor experience and visitor journey across the London and Wakehurst sites. * To provide opportunities for temporary signage for events, weddings and conferences. * To work with the Wakehurst team to ensure the full signage and wayfinding of all departments are considered and responded to. * To create a suite of designs for all required signage types across the site. * To create a Waymarking system which can be used across the Wakehurst and Kew Gardens sites. It is understood that the application of this system may vary from one site to the other.
