What is being bought

Published requirement description

Ceredigion County Council is awarding the services of a qualified and experienced multidisciplinary creative practitioner, or a partnership of arts practitioners, to explore the themes of the project using museum objects and resources, to co-create at least 3 ‘interventions’ in the new displays that reflect on the themes of the project. The estimated value is between £12,000 and £15,000 for the full term of the contract including all extensions. Please note that the contract value provided within this notice represents an estimate prepared by the Council. It is issued for guidance only and does not constitute a fixed budget or an indication of the expected contract price. Bidders are expected to submit a competitive bid based on market prices.

Mae Cyngor Sir Ceredigion yn dyfarnu gwasanaethau ymarferydd creadigol amlddisgyblaethol cymwys a phrofiadol, neu bartneriaeth o ymarferwyr celfyddydau, i archwilio themâu'r prosiect gan ddefnyddio gwrthrychau ac adnoddau amgueddfa, i gyd-greu o leiaf 3 'ymyriad' yn yr arddangosfeydd newydd sy'n adlewyrchu themâu'r prosiect. Mae'r gwerth amcangyfrifedig rhwng £12,000 a £15,000 ar gyfer tymor llawn y contract gan gynnwys yr holl estyniadau. Sylwch fod gwerth y contract a ddarperir yn yr hysbysiad hwn yn cynrychioli amcangyfrif a baratowyd gan y Cyngor. Fe'i cyhoeddir at ddibenion canllaw yn unig ac nid yw'n gyfystyr â chyllideb sefydlog nac yn arwydd o bris disgwyliedig y contract. Disgwylir i dendrwyr gyflwyno cynnig cystadleuol yn seiliedig ar brisiau'r farchnad.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
