The focus on enhancing visitor experience and restructuring customer journeys positions participating businesses for growth within the realm of cultural and educational tourism. This initiative not only expands Scottish Canals' visitor offerings but also invites creative collaboration, enhancing reputational growth for suppliers working in specialty design services. ## Notice Scottish Canals invites tenders for the appointment of an Immersive Exhibition Design & Installation Company (the Supplier) to undertake the design, build and installation of a new, purpose-built Immersive Experience and Exhibition (the Experience) at The Falkirk Wheel - one of Scotland's most iconic visitor attractions. The existing visitor offer at The Falkirk Wheel is highly successful but is predominantly outdoor, seasonal and operationally constrained. There is currently a gap in the offer for a high-quality, all-weather, emotionally engaging experience that deepens understanding of the site, supports paid entry and encourages longer dwell times. The Immersive Experience Building forms a cornerstone project within the wider Falkirk Wheel Masterplan and will play a central strategic role in enhancing the visitor offer, restructuring the customer journey, and supporting the commercial, operational and experiential success of the site. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Scottish Canals invites tenders for the appointment of an Immersive Exhibition Design & Installation Company (the Supplier) to undertake the design, build and installation of a new, purpose-built Immersive Experience and Exhibition (the Experience) at The Falkirk Wheel - one of Scotland's most iconic visitor attractions.
