## Summary

Orkney Islands Council is seeking a qualified film maker to produce an audiovisual presentation titled "Fleet in Action" for the new Scapa Flow Museum. This procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract awarded on 28th January 2022, valued at £17,181. The tender was initiated on 16th December 2021, with a deadline for submissions set for 10th January 2022. The procurement method used is an open procedure, focusing on services within the cultural and educational sectors in Kirkwall, UK.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for creative businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to showcase their expertise in film-making and audiovisual production. Companies that specialise in historical content production, multimedia presentations, or have experience in similar museum-related projects would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this project can significantly enhance visibility and credibility within the public sector, potentially leading to further opportunities in public contracts related to heritage and education.

## Notice

Orkney Islands Council ("the Authority") has a requirement for a suitably experienced and qualified film maker to produce an AV presentation to tell the story of the main naval operations carried out from Scapa Flow during both World Wars for the new Scapa Flow Museum ("the Museum") exhibition. As well as giving an account of specific events, the objective is to provide the broad strategic context of the war at sea during both conflicts, showing the critical role played by Scapa Flow.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The account of the operations carried out by the Royal Navy, beyond their base at Scapa Flow, is not particularly well represented by the museum collection, yet it is important that visitors can connect the story of the anchorage to well-known actions and events which were highly significant to the course of both world wars. The inclusion of the 'Fleet in Action' audio visual exhibit will add greatly to the effectiveness and variety of the interpretation across the new museum. The use of powerful and evocative imagery and sound, within the distinctive environment of the historic pumphouse, will create an experience which can be both emotionally charged, informative and though-provoking. - The key stories to be covered are: - The Battle of Jutland, 1916; - The Northern Patrol, 1914-17; - The Norway Campaign, 1940; - Battle of the Denmark Strait and the destruction of the Bismarck, 1941; - Arctic Convoys, 1941-45; - Battle of the North Cape; and - D-Day, 1944. Because of the multitude of actions and events to be covered, a single continuous narrative may be unrealistic in terms of a required duration of 6-8 minutes. A level of selection by visitors could therefore be considered, using a main home screen/menu.
