This project, classified under artistic and literary creation services, is in the Tender stage, with a procurement method identified as an open procedure. The tender was published on 15 December 2017, and submissions are due by 12 January 2018. The anticipated contract duration will commence on 17 January 2018 and conclude by 31 March 2019. The estimated value of the contract stands at £80,000. This project presents significant opportunities for businesses in the creative services industry, particularly those specialising in exhibition design, interpretation, and visitor engagement. Companies that excel in providing artistic and literary creation services or exhibit design solutions will be well-suited to compete for this contract. The initiative not only seeks creative concepts for the revitalisation of Stokesay Castle but also involves the design and installation of engaging interpretive elements, making it ideal for SMEs looking to expand their portfolio in heritage or cultural projects. ## Notice Stokesay Castle in Shropshire, is one of the finest fortified manor houses in the country, built in the 13th century by Lawrence of Ludlow. The interpretation project seeks to improve the visitor experience to the house whilst preserving the special atmosphere and feel of it. It should be noted that Stokesay Castle is not a castle in the traditional sense of the word - it is a fortified manor house. The site passed into the guardianship of English Heritage in 1986 and since that time the only interpretation of the site has been through an audioguide. Most of the rooms are intact but empty. A new caf? and play area opened next to the car park in August 2017 and together with the interpretation project will revitalize the visitor experience, doing justice to this wonderful site. We now seek an external contractor to design, build and install the interpretive elements. We want creative input from the contractor in how our key messages and visitor outcomes can best be conveyed in the most engaging way for visitors. 1. Interior room interpretation and furniture to cover graphics, imagery and 3D design and build up to a maximum of 11 stations around the castle (to be agreed). 2. Family game/quest experience (including room props and printing) 3. Light touch exterior gardens interpretation. 4. Light redecoration and possible new furniture in schools room Additional information: Suppliers interested in this opportunity should register at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/english-heritage/aspx/Home in orderto express interest and download documentation.
