## Summary

The Scottish National Memorial to David Livingstone Trust is conducting a procurement process titled "Marketing and Communications Brief - David Livingstone Trust" to develop a comprehensive marketing and communications action plan for the re-launch of the David Livingstone Centre. This initiative belongs to the services industry, primarily focused on recreation, culture, and religion, and is based in Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, UK. The procurement method is an open procedure, and while the current status indicates that the tender has been awarded, the procurement process included a submission deadline on 2nd March 2018, and an award date of 5th March 2018, with the contract value set at £45,000. The project is part of a larger £6.1 million refurbishment funded by various heritage bodies.

This tender presents significant opportunities for marketing and communications firms, especially those specialising in cultural and heritage marketing. Businesses with expertise in developing marketing strategies for museums or similar institutions would be particularly well-suited to compete. The procurement invites firms familiar with public sector contracts and experienced in delivering innovative marketing solutions that align with the objectives of historical and cultural projects. Additionally, as all bid submissions must comply with specific criteria, including professional indemnity and public liability insurance requirements, companies that meet these standards and have a proven track record in the sector will benefit from this opportunity.
