## Summary

The Imperial War Museums (IWM) in London has completed the procurement process for a summative evaluation of the "War and the Mind" exhibition. The project, classified under research services and museum-exhibition services, involved evaluating visitors' responses to the exhibition's social impact framework. The tender was an open procedure, with key dates including the tender period end date on 17 February 2025, the contract starting on 20 February 2025, and concluding on 16 May 2025. The awarded contract, valued at £13,400, was given to Bluegrass Research Limited, a small and medium enterprise located in Newcastle upon Tyne.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research services and museum-exhibition evaluations to gain valuable experience and visibility through collaboration with prominent cultural institutions like IWM. The project is particularly suitable for companies focused on visitor experience analysis and social impact assessment methodologies, providing a platform to showcase their expertise and potentially securing future contracts in the sector.

## Notice

IWM is seeking a piece of research to undertake a summative evaluation of the War and the Mind exhibition that will aim to measure whether the exhibition's key messages and learning outcomes have been met and to what extent. The War and the Mind exhibition is intended to challenge visitors to rethink war through a psychological prism. Wars are not simply a quest to physically destroy or protect. They are fought within and for our minds. The evaluation should measure the extent to which visitors agree with the exhibition's social impact framework and what their experience has been like prior to their visit and afterwards. We would also like to explore how the exhibition's interpretative methodologies were received by visitors.
