This procurement falls under the cultural services industry category and is based in London, with a tender submission deadline of 5pm on 7th December 2020. The procurement process is open, allowing for wider participation in submissions to design and build elements of a touring exhibition. The contract is expected to commence on 6th January 2021 and will run until 30th September 2023, with an estimated budget of £46,000. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for design firms and contractors specialising in exhibition design, museum services, and sustainable production to expand their portfolios. Businesses that are adept at working within limited budgets and possess creative problem-solving skills will find this tender particularly suitable. Companies with experience in creating engaging cultural experiences, especially those appealing to diverse audiences, will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice We are seeking an experienced design contractor to design and build the 3D aspects of the touring exhibition and creative direction of the 2D, and provide a title treatment, working closely with the project team who will lead on content, interpretation and provide 2D design artworking. We seek the exhibition to be an example of best practice in sustainable production and touring. We have a low production budget and require a designer with a flexible approach who is happy to make use of existing kit etc. (for example we have not budgeted for any new display cases. The Horniman plans to print the majority of graphics in house on our large format printer and Weston Park will outsource the graphics printing at their own expense). The exhibition is aimed at the below target audiences (using the Horniman bespoke segmentation system) and their equivalent at all three venues, principally: * Active Achievers (a younger family audience from a range of ethnic backgrounds. They like variety and being hands-on.) * Social Sharers (a young, family groups who love to have fun and socialise, enjoying relaxed social spaces and enjoyable experiences.) And secondary audiences * Cultural Enthusiasts (confident attendees of museums, with the time and inclination to pursue their passion for culture.) * Self-Improvers (independent adults focused on their own health and wellbeing, and seeking personal development and reflection.) The exhibition will explore three key themes: * Hair as Fibre/Material the properties of hair and its potential as a renewable resource and the amazing things that are made from hair * Hair Play/Hair Care - How we invest in and care for both our own and each other's hair. * Relational Hair (Name TBC) Exploring the potency, politics and meaning of hair from different cultural/temporal contexts, including sacred hair and wigs. There will also be a layer about the hair trade today and in the past - demonstrating global connections and conditions of labour and enabling visitors to trace the trajectories of products Please see Interpretation Plan (Appendix 1 - note Appendices will only be sent to designers to register their interest via cdiez-finch@horniman.ac.uk) for full details.
