The design, fabrication and installation of the LaunchPADLansio under 5s exhibition on the ground floor of Xplore! Science Discovery Centre

Tender description

Xplore! has recently been awarded a Moondance Foundation BIG Donation capital and revenue award. Xplore! is therefore now looking to create a new immersive exhibition, LaunchPADLansio, to cater specifically for our under 5s audience. LaunchPAD (Play & Discovery) / PADLansio (Potsio a Darganfod) will flip the script on early years learning. We are creating an immersive STEAM exhibition space at Xplore! designed exclusively for under 5s that sparks curiosity, ignites imagination and fuels vital cognitive, communication, and social skills. Our BIG Idea? Put the child front and centre. Rooted in the Wales Early Years Framework and Curriculum for Wales (Progression Step 1), the space champions learning through play, because play isn’t just fun, it’s fundamental. LaunchPADLansio will be situated on the ground floor of Xplore’s city centre building and will sit alongside a revamped café and catering-grade kitchen. This has been tendered separately and is outside the scope of this tender. The minimum contract duration will be until the end of the project 16/10/26. The scope of services relating to the design, fabrication and installation of the LaunchPADLansio under 5s exhibition contract is as follows but not limited to: · Design development of initial concept design · Production of final specification of individual exhibits through value engineering · Production of technical designs of exhibition elements and interactives · Fabrication and installation on site
