## Summary

The procurement process involves Historic England Limited as the buying organisation, seeking proposals for the "Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings Interpretation Scheme - Design and Build." This project falls under the industry category of design consultancy services and museum services. The contract, valued at £79,975, is currently in the Award stage, with the contract period starting from 9th November 2020 until 1st July 2022. Interested parties should note that this was a selective procurement process, following a restricted procedure, and that the tender period concluded on 12th October 2020.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in heritage projects and visitor experience design. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in interpretive design, project management, and collaborative consortium approaches will be well-suited to compete. By engaging in this ambitious project, businesses can contribute to restoring and promoting local heritage, thereby fostering community pride and attracting visitors, which can lead to further growth prospects in the cultural and tourism sectors.

## Notice

We are seeking a single design team or consortium as lead consultants to contract and work with, to act as a design and build contractor that will deliver a scheme right through to handover. The team will need to have experience of working on heritage projects, place making and storytelling, and be as inspired by this iconic site as we are. We are looking for a creative approach in line with the brand values of Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings: * Pioneering: Embracing the bold to continue the legacy and create memorable experiences * Innovative: Cultivating an environment which continues the tradition of thought leadership * Adaptive: Producing flexible and creative new uses for a sustainable future * Collaborative: Bringing communities and ideas together to generate positive impact We are looking for creative innovators who can help us reveal and celebrate 300 years of heritage and restore local pride in this unsung icon. Skills, experience and expertise will be required including, but not exclusively, design, interpretation schemes, visitor experience, project management, procurement, contract management, business planning, interactives, AV /digital engagement, retail design and operation, copywriting and research. We welcome innovative approaches to creating a visitor experience that will be inspiring and encourage local residents to reclaim their neighbour, and visitors from far and wide to explore this industrial hero. This is an ambitious project and we recognise that a single organisation is unlikely to contain all the necessary expertise for this. We therefore anticipate bids from consortia or from a team collaborating with specialist sub-contractors. We envisage that elements of the scheme may be commissioned from other specialist designers. Any organisation working with subcontractors will be expected to fully explain their approach to managing this structure and mitigating any associated risks. Suppliers interested in this opportunity should register at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/historic-england/aspx/Home in orderto express interest and download documentation.
