## Summary

The procurement process concerns Museums Galleries Scotland, which is seeking tenders for the "Museums Galleries Scotland Website Redevelopment – Design and Build." This project falls under the services sector, specifically related to recreation, culture, and religion. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the current stage is active, with an important deadline for submissions set for 26th May 2022. The successful contractor will collaborate with MGS to develop a new website aimed at enhancing the engagement and services provided to the Scottish museum sector, with the overarching goal of launching by January 2023.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specializing in web design, development, and digital services, particularly those with experience in creating platforms for cultural institutions. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are strongly encouraged to participate, as the project aims to include a range of innovative suppliers equipped to meet specific technical and strategic requirements outlined in the Discovery Phase Report. The focus on fostering a sustainable future for Scotland's museums and galleries is likely to attract companies invested in cultural heritage and community engagement.

## Notice

In 2012, the Scottish Government tasked MGS with launching a National Strategy for Scotland's museums and galleries, which aimed to unite the sector in working towards a more sustainable future. MGS is now in the final year of the delivery of Going Further: The National Strategy for Scotland's Museums and Galleries. The aims of the strategy have guided museums and galleries to become ambitious, dynamic, and sustainable enterprises, connecting with communities and showcasing our nation's heritage to a global audience. Development of the next National Strategy is underway and will be launched in January 2023. MGS is seeking tenders for the redevelopment of its existing website to create the digital services necessary to host a new, dynamic, National Strategy, alongside its existing core services. The website will help colleagues within the Scottish museum sector to engage with the new aims of the Strategy, which will inform their organisational development for the next decade. A Discovery phase for this project was procured separately and concluded in April 2022. The successful contractor will work with MGS staff to build upon the recommendations made in the Discovery Phase Report to successfully design, build and launch a new website in January 2023.
