## Summary

The Royal Armouries is currently awarding a contract for the project titled "Provision of site presentation, interpretation & commercial consultancy services", aimed at enhancing the visitor experience at Fort Nelson in Hampshire. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and this tender falls under the services category, specifically for project management consultancy services. The contract period is set to commence on 10 March 2018 and conclude by 30 June 2018. Interested parties were required to submit expressions of interest by 10 January 2018, and full tender documentation was made available on 11 January 2018.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in project management, marketing, and interpretation services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given the nature of the project which focuses on relatively short-term improvements rather than large-scale redevelopment. Companies that can demonstrate innovation in enhancing visitor experiences and commercial strategies are encouraged to engage in this tender, as it seeks to explore financial resilience and effective presentation approaches for historical sites.

## Notice

Additional information: Royal Armouries is seeking the services of an experienced consultancy to develop a tested and costed plan for the improvement of the presentation, interpretation and experience of Fort Nelson in Hampshire.

RA-0140 Provision of site presentation, interpretation & commercial consultancy services - Full company name - Full company address - Contact numbers - Contact email address Any expression of interest which does not include all the above information may be refused.
