Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens Wooden Information Cabin, Cornwall

Tender description

Tremenheere is a visitor attraction-gardens and grounds extending to 22 acres hosting a large sub-tropical garden with over 2500 plant species and an international standard collection of sculptures/artwork. The sculptures now number over 40 in total and five members of the royal academy are represented. The site also houses a commercial gallery with a full programme of exhibitions over two floors. Visitor numbers reach almost 30,000 to the gardens but a great deal more only visit the restaurant, shop or nursery and have frequent group tours from special interest groups, schools and colleges undertaken as guided tours. The garden is part of the great gardens of Cornwall group since its opening to the public in 2012. Tremenheere gardens as an established visitor attraction we feel our visitor experience would be enhanced if there were a covered/all weather information point to provide details of the plants and an explanation of the artwork. This would make our gardens more attractive and allow groups ,colleges ,schools a space to meet and learn more regardless of the weather. Information is to be provided by computer points within the cabin supplemented with display posters, leaflets. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
