## Summary

The National Museums On Merseyside is conducting a procurement process for the "NML Terracotta Warriors Exhibition Immersives", scheduled to take place at the World Museum in Liverpool from February to October 2018. This initiative aims to showcase national treasures from the tomb of China's First Emperor, marking a significant exhibition not seen in the UK outside London for over 30 years.

The contract period will commence on 10th July 2017, concluding on 2nd November 2018. Interested parties are encouraged to review the attached tender documents for specifics regarding technical requirements, maintenance support, and installation schedules.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in creative content, technical installation, and maintenance support, particularly those with experience in immersive exhibition technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate innovative strategies for engaging audiences through interactive experiences are well-positioned to compete. With the potential for substantial public exposure and a collaborative environment with one of the UK’s prominent cultural institutions, successful bidders can anticipate both immediate and long-term business growth stemming from this prestigious project.

## Notice

Bidders are asked to submit a formal tender for the "NML Terracotta Warriors Exhibition Immersives". We are staging a major exhibition at World Museum from February to October 2018 which will showcase national treasures from the tomb of China's First Emperor, Qin Shihuangdi. This is the first time in more than 30 years that such an exhibition has been brought to a museum in the UK outside London. We plan to create two different immersive environments within the exhibition as part of the visitor experience. These environments will fit seamlessly into the design of the exhibition and will help to communicate key elements of the story. This brief sets out the aims, objectives, and narrative for two immersive experiences but is not intended to be prescriptive in terms of approach. We are seeking imaginative and creative responses to the immersive brief which contribute to our wider ambitions for the exhibition. As part of content delivery you will be required to source images and moving footage for the productions. The tender package should cover the following elements: * Creative content (software) * Technical outputs and specification including spares (hardware) * Installation specification and indicative schedule * Maintenance support (operational) The exhibition will open in early February 2018. The deadline for delivery of the immersive installation is late November 2017 with installation to be complete by 20th December 2017 in advance of object installation which will commence in January 2018. All relevant tender documentation can be found attached to this notice.
