Description

Bidders are asked to submit a formal tender for the "Sea Galleries, Merseyside Maritime Museum Tender Digital Content Production".

Bidders are asked to submit a formal tender for the "Sea Galleries, Merseyside Maritime Museum Digital content production". We plan to create 9 no. different audio-visual programmes for the gallery, ranging from an introduction film, mapped projection showing a montage of footage and imaginary, one semi immersive experience, soundscape to convey cabin environment, diary extracts from a lady who travelled in 1920's and a number of other audio visual presentations within the galleries as part of the visitor experience. These will fit seamlessly into the design of the gallery and will be used help to communicate key message, stories linked to the different sections of the gallery. The Audio Visual elements have been carefully paced and positioned around the gallery (please refer to appendix M). Each audio visual item has its own brief. The briefs will provide details of objectives, key messages, storyline/content, technical information, look & feel, target audience and dwell time (Please refer to Appendix I for AV briefs).

As part of the content delivery, the AV Software Content provider will be required to source additional imagery and footage for the AV production, and purchase copyright/usage licenses. The tender package should cover the following elements:  Creative content delivery for all interactives and soundscapes (software)  Image/footage research and sourcing, the purchase of copyright usage licenses


The software content provider will need to works and collaborate with the internal content team to create and deliver the production of the AV software content for the gallery. Once all AV software content has reached the final stage of sign-off by the client, the AV Software content provider will be responsible to deliver all AV content to the AV Hardware contractor.

The AV Hardware contractor will be responsible for the installation, testing and commissioning of all Hardware equipment and the installation of the software content via hardware elements.

The galleries will open to the public on 27 March 2020. The deadline to installation, test and commission all digital elements on gallery 7 February 2020. The AV Software content provider will need to deliver all final version/signed off AV content to the AV Hardware provider by 13 January 2020. This is to allow enough to install the AV software content onto gallery.
