Delivered by Wells Cathedral, Vicars’ Close: A Medieval Street Singing Through the Centuries is a once in a lifetime opportunity project to save a site of internationally significant architectural heritage. It will create a legacy that will not only safeguard the future of Vicars’ Close, but also deliver brand new, innovative engagement programmes and interpretation that will be co-created with groups across the county.
We are now looking to appoint a design consultancy to develop the specifications for key elements of our interpretation.
This tender is to produce:
(a) an overarching strategy and options for an interpretative scheme for the Vicars’ Close informed
by consultation and collaboration with the activity planning process
(b) a costed interpretation plan detailing themes, audiences, objectives and outcomes and including
concept visuals and an implementation plan.
Interpretation should be legible to a wide range of audiences, recognising that people engage at different
levels, including people with limited mobility. Appropriate use of multimedia products and presentations
that provides a multi layered and stimulating visitor experience should be considered.
Tenders should include:
• Details of at least two previous and relevant contracts undertaken and client contact details to be
approached for references
• A proposed methodology and work plan
• A quotation including VAT if chargeable and payment schedule
• A brief CV and contact details, (or CVs if more than one person) who will be undertaking this
assignment
• Fixed price fees for the Interpretation Strategy and Design Consultancy, the later split between the
Development and Delivery Phases. Please note the figures stated in 5.4 are maximum figures
