Augmented Reality Trail brief

This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

We are tendering for a supplier or suppliers who can help create a fun and playful Augmented Reality experience for mobile devices, connecting our Museum and Gardens, encouraging exploration of the natural world through our collections and venue.

The aim is to encourage an appreciation and exploration of nature, through our current and future values - to be fun, open, and welcoming.

We would like to develop an AR environment and AR content to create Trails and treasure hunt type experience for the Nature + Love project, which we can continue to use to create new AR trails/markers with, in the future.

This is aimed at family visitors, who will collect these AR creatures by proximity, and be able to create media (photos/video) for sharing with them.

Detailed Platform, Content, Training and Future Requirements and information about our audiences are set out in the ITT.

While we have done some scoping out of this project, we are also interested in hearing your creative ideas that can reach the audiences, achieving the same project aim and objectives.

Tenderers are asked to provide the following information: • Your approach to the project and how you would meet the criteria, with any creative approaches you have. • Provide up to 3 case studies and references, which align as close as possible with this project in terms of themes, scale and/or physical environment from the last 8 years. • Work experience summary for key staff that would be working on the project. • Outline of costs and initial timeline for meeting the project, with breakdown. • Details of how you align with Horniman values and sustainability within your work. • Brief company history. • Completed anti-fraud and anti-bribery statements. • Acknowledgement that you have read our procurement terms and conditions. • A point of contact for correspondence to the tender, with email address and phone number.

Shortlisted potential suppliers will be invited to visit the Museum and Gardens in person, as the landscape and layout of the site is integral to delivering the AR experience.
