This procurement is currently in the tender stage and is classified under services, specifically focusing on worldwide web site design services, with an end date for submissions set for 16 February 2021. The venue for the event is Carlton House Terrace in London, SW1Y 5AG, and the procurement will be conducted via a direct method, specifically a single tender action below threshold. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for digital marketing and creative agencies to expand their portfolios by collaborating with a prestigious institution like the Royal Society. Businesses specialising in web design, application development, marketing services, and innovative digital experiences will find this tender well-suited for submission. The event aims to create an engaging online hub that showcases cutting-edge science, making it an appealing opportunity for firms ready to contribute to a high-profile digital initiative amidst the ongoing transition to virtual events. ## Notice As part of the annual Summer Science exhibition, the Royal Society seeks proposals for a digital agency to help us develop the brand proposition, develop the look, and feel of the event and create an engaging online hub for us to share the content. The Summer Science Exhibition is the Society's flagship annual public engagement event that usually takes place the first week of July at Carlton House Terrace in central London. Featuring exhibits of cutting-edge science from research institutions across the UK, the Exhibition provides 13,000 visitors the opportunity to 'meet the scientists' undertaking pioneering research and engage with science through fun, hands-on activities and interactive demonstrations. We are looking to build on this for 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and expand the scale and intention of the online offering to focus more on the science of the research groups we have involved for this year. The Society has decided in 2021 to run a digital Summer Science Showcase featuring cutting edge science between 8 - 11 July, with the possibility to hold aspects of the supporting talks and activities programme in person at Carlton House Terrace should circumstances permit. We seek proposals from digital agencies to help us deliver an impactful and engaging online experience for viewers and to encourage audiences to take part through excellent and inviting creative promotional materials. Together with an overall creative proposition, this will involve the design of an online portal to the Showcase content which clearly communicates the excitement and cutting-edge nature of the science on show. We want the online portal for the Showcase to feel engaging for users to visit, allowing them to explore and easily find the content most appealing to them. We don't want it to feel like a static experience. We'd like to see how we can explore crafting an online hub that feels leading-edge in how it encourages users to experience our science content, activities, and events. The look and feel of the hub should excite visitors, be straightforward to navigate and have the flexibility to be carried through to the branding of the support programme events, digital content and marketing materials. More information and details are included in the Services Brief and RFQ attachments. Additional information: The Society acknowledges the short response time and thank you for considering submitting a proposal for these Services. We have a small pool of digital and marketing firms we work with and seek to expand this pool for future work on our expanding digital programme so please do get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3e1a3c86-591a-49f5-bf00-b5fe8e5f6dba | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | 16 Feb 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2021 - 30 Apr 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ROYAL SOCIETY | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1Y 5AG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 72413000 - World wide web (www) site design services - 72416000 - Application service providers - 72421000 - Internet or intranet client application development services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development - 79340000 - Advertising and marketing services ## Release History - 9 Feb 2021 at 17:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3e1a3c86-591a-49f5-bf00-b5fe8e5f6dba ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3e1a3c86-591a-49f5-bf00-b5fe8e5f6dba 9th February 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/57832aa3-87a4-4d19-afd2-9e5f77df38e6 RFQ 568 Brief and specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2336d8b0-5a45-43c7-b455-dded1b992225 RFQ 568 Agency Registration Form - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/848b96ee-14d8-4931-97a4-10cbedce74fd RFQ 568 Attachment 2 - Pricing Schedule - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d806cec5-f8af-45f3-9887-be975b7537b6 Attachment 3 - RFQ 568 Agency Declaration Form - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9ac67b0e-44b1-48c6-abcc-c3ae92e376cc Attachment 4 -RFQ Examples of Marketing - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e991cc6b-a4d9-45bc-bc8b-6cc473a0bfb8 Attachment 5 - RFQ 568 RS Style Guide - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/66338383-ce2c-4ef7-a388-596413b02562 Attachment 6 - RFQ 568 RS Terms and Conditions ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
