## Description
The National Galleries of Scotland is seeking to appoint a sole Service Provider for the Provision of Audience Research Services.
National Galleries Scotland (NGS) proudly displays collection artworks and exhibitions within three Galleries across four main sites - The Scottish National Gallery (SNG), The Scottish National Portrait Gallery (SNPG) and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (SNGMA) (Modern One and Modern Two).
The Service Provider is required to conduct Audience Research to provide insight and analysis about both visitors and non-visitors in order to support the organisation's Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), special projects and inform organisation-wide strategic planning.
Full details of the Contract Requirements are detailed in the DRAFT Contract Requirements document.
There is no commitment to a volume of work. Under this agreement, no minimum workload is guaranteed. Services will be agreed to on an "as required" basis. The Tenderer will have no claim against NGS if they are not instructed to carry out any of the services.
NGS may have additional qualitative and/or quantitative audience research needs but these are yet undefined and will not be in the scope for this Tender. If and/or when additional audience research needs are identified, there would not be an automatic award.
The agreement will therefore be non-exclusive i.e. NGS reserves the right, in certain circumstances, to procure out with the Contract Agreement, as and when required.
In the event of unsatisfactory performance by the successful Service Provider and the termination of the contract by either party, NGS reserves the right to negotiate the continuance of the services with the second and third placed Service Providers.
The Service Provider must have a clear understanding of the contract requirements and the organisational needs of NGS. As part of the tender exercise, the Service Provider must detail flexible options of robust methodologies for conducting audience research services which meet all data capture requirements. DRAFT Stage 2 Quality Criteria has been uploaded to the portal for review.
