## Summary

Glasgow City Council is overseeing the procurement process for the "Burrell Renaissance - Manual Interactives" project, aimed at revitalising the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, UK. This initiative falls under the public services industry category and is currently in the award stage. Key dates include the tender period ending on 27 September 2018, with the project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The procurement method used is a selective process, specifically a restricted procedure, encompassing four separate lots focused on designing and producing interactive installations.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in design, development, and production of interactive exhibits within museum environments. Companies, particularly SMEs with experience in creating audience-engaging exhibits and digital content, would be well-suited to compete. Successful bidders will contribute to a prestigious project that not only enhances community engagement with art and culture but also supports public awareness and understanding of historical collections.

## Notice

The Burrell Renaissance Project will deliver a world-class redisplay of the collection - promoting a deeper physical and intellectual access to and understanding of our objects, enabling relevant, meaningful and powerful dialogues with our target audiences. Digital interpretation will play a considerable part in achieving this. In December of 2018 Glasgow City Council will appoint one or more companies to design, develop and deliver hybrid, manual and tactile interactives that will interpret the redisplayed Burrell Collection for a variety of audiences. This project is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. There are four separate Lots to develop software and content for the Burrell Project: Lot 1: Hybrid Interactives - Design, Development and Production Lot 2: Manual Interactives - Design, Development and Production Lot 3: Tactile Models - Design, Development and Production Lot 4: Tactile Labels - Design, Development and Production

### Lot Information

Hybrid/Electromechanical Interactives - Design, Development and Production

There are fifteen (15) elements within this Lot. Each requires the development and delivery of combinations of robust, physically interactive mechanisms and interfaces that work seamlessly with related bespoke software / digital content. Note that these physical elements - including, in some cases, the supporting and housings - will be developed and delivered as part of this Lot. Related software and digital content will be delivered by a separately appointed Software and Content specialist.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Manual Interactives - Design, Development and Production

There are 11 Manual Interactives across galleries. The Scope of Works for each Interactive comprises the development, production and delivery of all manual elements. All Manual Interactives will comprise the creative design, development, prototyping, installation and any warranty support of the manual interactive in the museum. The successful contractor will work with the client team to design and produce the elements, ensuring that the approach allows for a dynamic interpretation of the objects displayed alongside. The company will be responsible for production of all Manual Interactive elements, liaising with the client required to ensure all the access requirements are met (which will be issued as part of Glasgow Museums' Display standards). In responding to the Project's Aesthetic Guidelines, issued upon appointment, the successful contractor for this Lot will be required to develop the creative style for these productions, then direct and produce all of these elements.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Tactile Models - Design, Development and Production

The primary aim of all new interpretation in the museum is to encourage visitors to look at and engage with the objects. The interpretive techniques promote connection, community, participation, wellbeing, creativity, resilience and empathy. This will ensure The Burrell Collection's renewed place at the forefront of contemporary museum practice as we develop an interpretive and intellectual approach that recognises and adapts for the real-life function of a modern museum. There are a number of story displays that employ tactile opportunities to deliver and support interpretation of objects on display, and to maximise accessibility to the collection. In-gallery tactile interpretation will offer simple, standalone opportunities for visitors to touch and feel replica models or details of object(s) on display, and will be created to allow physical access to an object's texture, weight, temperature and/or form etc., whilst remaining sympathetic to the design and overall aesthetic of displays and galleries. Tactile interpretation splits into two strands- models and labels. Tactile interpretation forms a core part of the Access and Inclusion strand of the BRP's Content and Interpretation Strategy, whereby tactile interpretation will function as one of the key tools to support and enable access to the collection across audiences. The learning outcomes for tactile interpretation fall into the following categories, all of which are cross-cutting and complimentary. Each tactile label or model should support at least one of these learning outcomes: - Making sense of something - Deepening understanding - Making links and relationships between things - Being surprised - Exploration, experimentation and making - Having fun The scope of work for this contract includes the creative design, development, prototyping, installation and any warranty support of the tactile models and tactile labels in the museum, as described in this document..
