We are seeking high quality production support that will help expand the podcast's reach, strengthen its promotional impact, and ensure alignment with our wider organisational strategy.
The successful supplier will be an engaging storyteller with substantial experience of working collaboratively with museums and heritage organisations to interpret collections for non-specialist audiences, and with specific experience of podcast development and delivery. You will work with us to creatively shape the production of new podcasts, script informative narration, and support recording to make interviews engaging. You will edit the podcast and ultimately deliver audio files and full transcripts of high-quality episodes ready for general release. We produce the podcast in a conversational, engaging style that remains professional and balanced. We want to continue developing this approach, exploring formats and techniques that strengthen what is already working well for our audiences.
The successful supplier will be sensitive to our position as a government department and our roles as civil servants, working with us to create sign-off processes, whilst developing thought-provoking and insightful approaches to storytelling using our experts and unique collection. The use of external guests and interviewees is welcomed however please note that we have set fees for these contributions.
The successful supplier will work closely on an ongoing basis with The National Archives' digital engagement team as well as series-specific project teams; collaborating to deliver sustainable content which is both flexible and dynamic.
The proposed contract period is 2 years (24 months).
