Tender: Tate Modern Turbine Hall – Design and Delivery of the 'Tate Time Machine' Mixed Reality Prototype

About

Tate Modern is seeking a supplier for the design and delivery of the 'Tate Time Machine' prototype to create playful, accessible mixed-reality experiences in the Turbine Hall that transport visitors back in time to encounter 360/180-degree recreations of past Turbine Hall commissions and allow visitors to design their own commission. The prototype will be used to secure partner funding for a full rollout (the current funding bid is estimated at around £150,000); the appointed supplier must support that funding effort by providing material and technical insight and participating in conversations with prospective funders. If partner funding is secured, the full rollout will be offered as an option under this contract to the awarded tenderers without a further competition, subject to satisfactory completion of the prototype phase and agreement of Phase 2 pricing and terms. If funding is not secured, the contract will end at the prototype phase and no further work will follow, so tenderers should plan and price the prototype on the basis that it may be the entirety of the work. The selection is evaluated on the whole project, so Tate is seeking proposals that address scalability, extensibility and long-term maintenance.
