## Summary

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is seeking a contractor for the "Reactive Graphic Production" project, aimed at enhancing its visitor-facing interpretive media across its four Gardens located in Edinburgh, Benmore, Dawyck, and Logan. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender is currently in the active stage. The deadline for bid submissions is 20 April 2022, which will also mark the commencement of the award period. The indicative value of the contract is £100,000, centred in the education industry category.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for SMEs specialising in graphic production and signage, particularly those with expertise in delivering high-quality interpretive media. Businesses that can demonstrate flexibility in their operations and a variety of production capabilities, such as exhibition graphics and signage using diverse substrates, will find this contract particularly suitable. Moreover, the requirement for timely deliveries within a 10-day window emphasises the need for efficient project management and production processes.

## Notice

RBGE is developing and upgrading its visitor-facing interpretive offer that is managed and developed by the Interpretation and Design Team. The offer includes audience-focused, interpretive media for each of the Gardens, the collections and ongoing research. It includes exhibitions, audio-visual presentations, interpretation panels, living history, signage, guided tours and publications. The Interpretation and Design Team wishes to appoint a signage production contractor on a call-off basis to provide, and in some instances install, interpretation graphics, display materials, wayfinding and visitor management signage for a range of minor works for both indoor and outdoor environments at RBGE's four Gardens. Requirements might include exhibition graphics, pop-up banners, events signage, cut or wrapped vinyl graphics, A-board inserts, and small-scale reactive signage.

Specialist knowledge of materials and fixing methods is essential.
