## Summary

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is currently engaged in a public procurement process to establish a multi-year Audience and Product Research Roster. This open procurement process, designated as a tender, falls under the category of services, specifically research consultancy and market research services. The tender was published on 3rd June 2019, with a submission deadline of 28th June 2019. The contract is set to commence on 26th July 2019 and is expected to span three years, with the possibility of a one-year extension, covering locations within Richmond, England.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in research consultancy and market analysis to expand their operations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete, given the framework intends to create a versatile pool of approved suppliers. Companies that excel in audience engagement strategies and market research methodologies will find this contract particularly advantageous, as it allows for continuous collaboration with a prominent organisation in the cultural sector.

## Notice

Every year RBG Kew runs a calendar of visitor events and exhibitions designed to provide new reasons for visitors - both member and day paying visitors - to visit for the first time and to return throughout the year. Historically, we have procured Audience and Product Research support on a programme by programme basis. RBG Kew now intends to put in place a multi year, non exclusive, ranked Framework of approved suppliers. The period of the initial Framework is intended to be 3 years and may be extended by up to 1 further year.
