## Summary

The National Museums Liverpool is conducting a procurement process for the "Merseyside Maritime Museum Research Project." This research aims to develop a comprehensive visitor survey package to gather insights on visitor behaviours at the museum, which welcomed over 906,000 visitors in the 2017/2018 period. The procurement method used is an open procedure, with the tender period having ended on 2 January 2019. The contract period is set from 4 February 2019 to 31 May 2019. The project falls within the goods category, particularly under the CPV classification for market and economic research.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in market research, especially those with experience in visitor studies and data analytics. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in developing and executing comprehensive survey methodologies will be well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the availability of resources to support their proposals, facilitating a competitive bidding environment.

## Notice

National Museums Liverpool is looking to commision an agency to conduct a research project at the Merseyside Maritime Museum. Organisations are invited to put forward proposals based on the requirements outlined in this brief. Bidders are asked to submit a formal tender for the Merseyside Maritime Museum Research Project. We require the development of a comprehensive visitor survey package that will provide us with a wealth of information about visitors to the Merseyside Maritime Museum. In 2017/2018 Merseyside Maritime Museum (MMM) welcomed 906,202 visitors. Of those visitors, 391,536 also visited the International Slavery Museum and 296,383 visited Seized! NML would like to conduct observational and visitor market research to gather information about visitor behaviour inside the MMM building. This would include the "journey" around the building, dwell time and visits to our commercial outlets. The information gathered would inform future plans for visitor development and refurbishment of the building. We would expect the research sample size to be sufficient to be able to provide a robust series of results. The key data that we would need the survey to provide, which would be defined by visitor group were appropriate is detailed in this document: Section 5 - Requirement Specification.
