What is being bought

Published requirement description

We are looking for a company to improve the visitor experience at Temple Newsam's Home Farm by developing innovative new interpretation to engage, educate and enthuse visitors on their journey around this historic, working farm.

We are seeking a company to review what interpretation we currently have, make proposals for a fresh offer and deliver the agreed interpretation, including undertaking the necessary background research and designing and installing signage, exhibits and interactive interpretation features as required.

We would like this to be done through the production of an interpretation strategy (in consultation with the team on site) setting out a plan for how the farm will engage and educate visitors going forward.

Tenderers should note that if the council wish to carry out new services at the end of this contract, which are a repetition of similar services detailed in this notice, then those additional services may be procured using the negotiated procedure without publication of a notice in accordance with regulation 32 (9) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

The authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further information from the contracting authority before the contract is entered into.

Such additional information should be requested from the addressee found in I.1. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly (within 30 days beginning with the date when the economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for such action had arisen).

Where a contract has not been entered into the court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. Following the correct implementation of a10 day standstill period and publication of appropriate notices the court may only award damages once the contract has been entered into.

The documentation should be completed and returned by no later than the deadline specified in IV.2.2. Late submissions will not be accepted.
