Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-04efef
Description
The purpose of this procurement exercise is to develop a Framework of Suppliers that work with Kew Gardens and Wakehurst to deliver and contribute to our creative vision for our programmes.
A Framework is essentially a list of ranked suppliers. Suppliers are ranked according to the scores awarded by RBG Kew's evaluation panel during this procurement process and are awarded according to the Evaluation Criteria - as detailed in Part 1: ITT. The Evaluation Criteria is the methodology showing what percentage of the overall score can be awarded for each element of Supplier tender submissions.
The goal of the procurement exercise is that we will have two lists of Suppliers (one for each Lot: Design & Fabricate; and Theatrical Performance) and we would like to see up to five Suppliers on each list.
This procurement comprises two Lots:
Lot 1: Design & Fabricate - We will expect the Supplier to respond creatively to the Brief and use their design and inventive problem-solving expertise to develop playful, inviting, unique, innovative and aesthetically sensitive responses, and to then manufacture, install, maintain and deinstall all programme deliverables, as well as undertake all associated project management.
Lot 2: Theatrical Performance - We will expect the Supplier to respond creatively to the Creative Brief and use their design and theatrical skills to develop imaginative, immersive and participatory theatrical programming together with the project management, design, install, maintenance and deinstallation of sets, stages, props and costumes to creatively cast and stage the performances within Kew landscapes.
