This procurement process, categorised under market research services and described as an open procedure, has recently reached the award stage. The contract period for the successful supplier runs from July 12, 2022, to November 14, 2022. The tender's submission deadline was July 4, 2022. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in audience research and evaluation services to expand their reach within the cultural and educational sectors. Companies that are well-versed in qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, particularly those that can demonstrate experience in evaluating exhibitions or educational programmes, are encouraged to participate. The successful contractor, Sphere Insights Ltd, has been awarded a contract valued at £10,100, which underscores the potential for competitive bidders to engage in lucrative public procurement projects. ## Notice The Audience Research & Advocacy team is looking to appoint an audience research consultant to evaluate the following: 1. Switched On exhibition The National Science and Media Museum in Bradford will present Switched On, a temporary exhibition across Galleries 1 and 2, from end of July 2022 - January 2023. In Gallery 1, Switched On will take visitors on a journey from the first BBC radio broadcasts in 1922 to TV and the rise of streaming services. The exhibition will examine the industry through the pioneers linked with broadcasting innovations that have reflected and changed everyday life. Throughout Gallery 2, Switched On will also explore the future of broadcasting with exciting interactives and immersive experiences (see Appendix A), taking visitors on a journey of what media technologies and broadcasting could look like in the next 10 years. 2. Switched On learning programme (the 2 main 'tinkering' activities only) The Switched On exhibition will be accompanied by a learning programme, with two main 'tinkering' activities taking place most days over the summer holidays. The family tinkering sessions will be inspired by collections and encourage families to explore scientific thinking and creativity together. Families will be guided through different tinkering zones to explore materials and develop skills to create an object unique to them and their experience of the Switched On galleries. The learning outcomes for both the exhibition as well as the learning programme are available as Appendix C. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc78367c-ca59-42e0-9e15-c61a8c4a5347 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Aug 2022 | | Submission deadline | 4 Jul 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Jul 2022 | | Contract period | 11 Jul 2022 - 14 Nov 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £10,100 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCIENCE MUSEUM GROUP | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW7 2DD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Brompton & Hans Town | | Westminster constituency | Kensington and Bayswater | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SPHERE INSIGHTS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79310000 - Market research services ## Release History - 1 Aug 2022 at 10:50 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc78367c-ca59-42e0-9e15-c61a8c4a5347 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fc78367c-ca59-42e0-9e15-c61a8c4a5347 1st August 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
