## Summary

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is seeking a production company for their inaugural podcast series, titled "RBGKEW/815 Podcast Series". The tender is currently in the Award stage, having been published on 20th January 2020 and closed on 27th January 2020. The project entails researching, interviewing, recording, and editing the podcast, with a completion window of three months from the contract start date, which is set for 31st January 2020. The total value of the contract is £14,000, and the work is classified under the CPV category for sound recordings and research services. The contract period extends until 30th June 2020 and the related delivery location is Richmond, England.

This opportunity is well-suited for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary or community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in audio production, research, or digital media services. Competing businesses can leverage this contract to elevate their profiles and establish relationships within the cultural and botanical sectors. By showcasing their storytelling and production capabilities through this podcast, successful bidders can potentially expand their portfolio and reach new audiences aligned with Kew's mission to engage with both familiar and new audiences.

## Notice

We require a production company to research, interview, record and edit RBG Kew's inaugural podcast series. Ideally, this would be completed within a 3 month of window of being contracted, depending on availability of contributors. A podcast would not only support our aims in showing a different side to Kew to more familiar audiences, but also reach new people who may not know or understand our mission and offer.
