## Summary

The Museums Galleries Scotland organisation has awarded a contract to Daydream Believers for the project titled "Workforce for the Future - Creation of Learning Resource". The project involves engaging museums and schools in eight lower Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation areas to help students learn about job roles in the heritage sector, enhancing their employability skills. The tender process is now complete, and the contracted value is 20,833 GBP. The project location is in Edinburgh, and the buying organisation is Museums Galleries Scotland.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services and content creation to participate in a meaningful project that contributes to enhancing youth education and workforce development. Companies that have experience in developing educational resources, particularly those accredited by educational frameworks, would be well-suited to compete. The project aims to provide a platform for contractors to be creative in designing learning experiences focusing on employability skills and heritage roles for S1 and S2 pupils. The tender process for this opportunity was conducted through an open procurement method.

## Notice

MGS is partnering with Developing the Young Workforce to deliver a two-year project, entitled Workforce for The Future, to engage museums and schools in eight lower Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation areas. As part of the project, S1 and S2 pupils across the eight council areas will use a core learning resource to work with a local museum, learning about the diversity of job roles in the heritage sector and increasing their employability skills. This tender opportunity is for a contractor to work with MGS to create the core learning resource to be used by the school pupils as part of the project. This resource must be in a format that allows for it to be accredited by the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF).

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The successful contractor will work with MGS staff to create a learning experience that challenges young people to imagine the museum of the future. The contractor will have some creative freedom around the format of the resource, so tender proposals should include suggestions for this. Once a contract has been awarded, the contractor will then develop the initial concept in conversation with MGS (please note the information at section 5 of this Invitation to Tender). The resource will be used across a variety of museums with diverse collections and local contexts, so it must contain elements that can be shaped by individual museum participants. The main focus of the resource will be employability and diversifying the workforce pipeline, and it should encourage learners to explore the following: - What are the different roles in heritage? - What roles will be important in the future? - What skills are needed to do these jobs? - What does the museum of the future look like? MGS is aiming for between 35 - 42 hours of activity for the completion of the learning resource, and it will be targeted at S1 and S2 pupils. The decision to target these year groups was made to allow for the curriculum flexibility required to participate effectively in the project and follows on from previous successful pilot projects with P5, P6 and P7 pupils. The resource should exist online but also facilitate in-person learning, including visits from the schools to the museums and vice-versa. The learning resource must be flexible and adaptable to different learning needs. Further information is contained in the Invitation to Tender document.
