Museums Galleries Scotland Website Redevelopment – Design and Build

Descriptions

In 2012, the Scottish Government tasked MGS with launching a National Strategy for Scotland’s museums and galleries, which aimed to unite the sector in working towards a more sustainable future. MGS is now in the final year of the delivery of Going Further: The National Strategy for Scotland’s Museums and Galleries. The aims of the strategy have guided museums and galleries to become ambitious, dynamic, and sustainable enterprises, connecting with communities and showcasing our nation’s heritage to a global audience. Development of the next National Strategy is underway and will be launched in January 2023. MGS is seeking tenders for the redevelopment of its existing website to create the digital services necessary to host a new, dynamic, National Strategy, alongside its existing core services. The website will help colleagues within the Scottish museum sector to engage with the new aims of the Strategy, which will inform their organisational development for the next decade. A Discovery phase for this project was procured separately and concluded in April 2022. The successful contractor will work with MGS staff to build upon the recommendations made in the Discovery Phase Report to successfully design, build and launch a new website in January 2023. The Discovery Phase Report (some pages containing confidential MGS information removed) is included at the end of the invitation to tender document, along with core objectives and technical details.
