The facility, which includes a library, museum, gallery, adult education, and Council contact centre, aims to maximise opportunities for donations while minimising costs. The tender release date is 18th December 2023, with an Expression of Interest deadline on 9th January 2024 and the submission deadline set for 16th January 2024. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a contract period starting on 29th March 2024 until 31st March 2025. This tender opportunity can be beneficial for businesses looking to provide digital donation solutions for public institutions. Companies specializing in technology, digital services, and innovative fundraising solutions would be well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate due to the suitability criteria. Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is the buying organisation, facilitating this procurement process to enhance donation mechanisms within the culturally significant Amelia Scott site. ## Notice Tunbridge Wells Borough Council (TWBC)) is looking to procure a series of digital donation points for The Amelia Scott cultural hub. Opened in 2022 after a PS22m redevelopment, The Amelia Scott is a public library, museum, gallery, adult education and Council contact centre in the heart of Tunbridge Wells, Kent. The facility sees around 300,000 users through it's doors each year and offers a series of free and paid for activities on site. As the site is free to enter, TWBC is looking to maximise opportunities for donations, while minimising cost - by procuring 3 digital donation points for the site. Two of the three points may be in fixed locations around the site, with the third being able to move around the building as per need; depending on the nature of the activities taking place. The units must operate on TWBC's wifi network and the one which is 'mobile' must be able to operate for a time without being plugged into mains electricity. Services within The Amelia Scott are run by the local authority, thus it is not a registered charity - and all systems and means of funding must be compatible with this fact. Should the donation points be successful after the initial term of the contract, additional points may be added to the agreement at a later date for the Assembly Hall Theatre, also run by TWBC. Tender release: 18th of December 2023 Expression of Interest Deadline: 12:00pm 9th of January 2024 Deadline for submission of completed tenders: 12:00pm 16th of January 2024 Evaluation: Commencing 16th of January 2024 Demonstrations: TBC Appointment of contractor: As soon as practically possible after the conclusion of the demonstration stage.
