The contract period is set to run from April 18, 2024, to June 30, 2025. The buying organisation, Science Museum Group, based in London, was seeking an animator-illustrator to enhance the gallery experience.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in museum-exhibition and graphic design services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this tender particularly suitable. Located in South Kensington, the project requires the delivery of digital animations and graphic illustrations that bring to life the history of Manchester's industry in a modern, engaging way.

## Notice

The new Power Hall will be a must-see Manchester experience - a living gallery which showcases a unique collection of historic working engines, powered by 21st century, carbon-neutral infrastructure. The gallery's new narrative tells the story of Manchester as an epicentre of industry and explores the story of our complex relationship with engines. The Science Museum Group (SMG) are seeking to appoint an animator-illustrator to deliver a series of engaging, dynamic and peopled digital animations and graphic illustrations that will play a key role in the gallery experience. We require: - 6 short digital animations (3 x touchscreen/interactive and 3 x video only). - 37 graphic illustrations / icons. The digital animations will help enliven the gallery and enable us to visually explain the key science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) principles that underpin how our engines work. Five of the digital animations will be stand-alone experiences and one will be part of a physical interactive. The graphic illustrations will support visitors to use the interactives, engage with the objects on gallery and make links to everyday, relatable objects or scenarios.
