6. PROCESS TO PROCUREMENT

Eureka! Mersey


Eureka! is seeking an Exhibition Fit-out Contractor to work with

us to create a new science centre in Merseyside that aims to

inspire curiosity, exploration and creativity in young people.

Eureka! Mersey, will be a new concept in visitor attractions, one that is focussed around

STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and maths) with content drawn from

stakeholders from across the region and shaped by the communities that surround it.

Eureka! Mersey won’t be a children’s museum nor a traditional science centre, or anything to

which it could be easily compared. It will have its own distinct identity that comes from the co-

creation process. It will be what this process defines it to be.

Eureka! Mersey


1. Executive Summary

Eureka! plan to create a world-class £11.75m visitor attraction within existing buildings on the

Wirral waterfront. Th attraction currently named Eureka! Mersey, aims to inspire children and

young people and their families to explore dynamic science, technology, engineering, arts and

maths themes through hands-on experimentation and discovery.

This document is designed to provide applicants/groups with information to enable them to

pre-qualify and be shortlisted to ultimately tender for the Eureka! Mersey Exhibition Fit-out

Contract.

In later sections Eureka! sets out the aims and objectives for the project, the proposed

structure of the delivery team and programme to take the whole project through to a public

launch in 2022. The delivery of the attraction falls under two contracts. The first is the Base

Build contract, which has already been tendered and is moving through the Pre-construction

Service Agreement (PCSA) stage, the contractor appointed for this work is Seddon

Construction Ltd. The second is the Exhibition Fit-Out Contract covered by this tender.

The Eureka! Mersey Project is currently moving through RIBA Stage 4 for both the Base Build

and the Exhibition Fit Out Contract. Eureka! now wish to appoint an Exhibition Fit-out

Contractor, with experience of delivering multi-disciplinary interactive exhibitions, to work with

the Exhibition Designers to develop the existing RIBA Stage 4 Technical Design taking the

project through RIBA Stage 5 -7. This will include taking the Stage 4 information available at

tender and developing technical construction drawings with the Client and Designers for sign-

off before constructing, installing, commissioning and handing over the Exhibition Fit-out

works.

Part of the works covered by the Exhibition Fit-out contract will include the duties of the

Principal Contractor. It is currently envisaged that the Base Build Main Contractor will hand-

over the site and the duties and responsibilities of Principal Contractor to the Fit-out Main

Contractor. Therefore, to be successful in being shortlisted at this stage a candidate will need

to be able to demonstrate their experience in carrying out this role. The role of Principal

Designer is being delivered by the Base Build Contractor who will hand over these duties to

the Exhibition Designers once the exhibition fit-out works come to site. Therefore, the

Exhibition Fit-out contractor does not need to fulfil the role of Principal Designer.

Eureka! Mersey


This document is confidential and for use only by persons interested in tendering for the

contract.

Supply of this document to an applicant does not imply or guarantee the recipient will be

awarded works on the project.

All requirements to fulfil this pre-qualification stage are set out in Section 6.1.

Submissions must be returned by 1pm Tuesday 23rd June 2020.

2. Background Eureka! The National Children’s Museum

The Client for Eureka! Mersey is Eureka! The National Children’s Museum based at the

existing museum in Halifax. This museum is based on the North American model of children’s

museums, with a focus on play-based learning and providing inspirational informal learning

experiences for children aged 0 to 11.

Eureka! is the only fully interactive museum totally dedicated to children aged 0 - 11 anywhere

in the UK. We love the weird and wonderful questions children ask and work hard to help them

find the answers. The existing museum was designed, informed and guided by children,

created in a child-friendly way (with child height loos, accessible exhibits and displays) and

designed to be 100% interactive with no complex instructions or “do not touch” signs.

Whilst science underlies the Eureka! experience, play is always at the heart of our immersive

galleries and varied workshop and programmes. Our aim is that all visitors, child and grown up

alike, leave Eureka! delighted, inspired and eager to come back!

3. Project Background

A prime site for a second Eureka! visitor attraction has been identified on the Wirral at

Seacombe ferry terminal, directly linked to Liverpool’s Pier Head by the Mersey Ferries and

easily accessed by road and rail. The site was occupied by Spaceport, a small visitor attraction

created by Merseytravel in 2005. After visitor numbers declined Merseytravel was keen to

explore alternative options for the site, which capitalised on the investment already made into

the buildings and supported the increasing focus on the visitor economy/leisure market, as set

out in Mersey Ferries’ long-term strategy.

In 2014, exploratory discussions began between Eureka! and Merseytravel to assess the

potential for developing a second Eureka! in the building previously occupied by the Spaceport

Eureka! Mersey


visitor attraction.

Initial project plans and financial projections were developed through an Outline Feasibility

Assessment in 2014, followed by a full Feasibility Study in 2016, and supported by a separate,

in-depth Fundraising Feasibility Study (2016). These studies concluded that as well as the

Spaceport Building (now referred to as the Attraction Building) the project should include the

refurbishment of the further spaces within the Terminal Building (e.g. what is currently a soft

play space and the café) that sits at ninety degree to the Attraction Building, as well as the

outdoor space in front of these two buildings, in order to make a more comprehensive

attraction.

These studies drew on extensive consultation with the Combined Authority, the LEP Boards

(Skills, Visitor Economy and Advanced Manufacturing), cultural partners, the LCR’s’ Cultural

Partnership, senior representatives from the FE and HE sectors and primary and secondary

schools, funding partners, local and regional industry and local communities.

Eureka! Mersey’s co-creation approach to development of the new attraction supports the

LCR’s commitment to inclusive growth, by empowering local communities, citizens and

stakeholders to play a crucial role in shaping the Eureka! experience from the outset.

The current proposals are fully aligned with the Liverpool City Region Growth Strategy and

Visitor Economy, Culture and Skills Strategies, and all the local strategies of Wirral Council.

4. Strategic Thinking

4.9 Co-creating content and design

Consultation with children and young people has always been an integral part of gallery and

programme development at Eureka! The National Children’s Museum. It is an element of our

core mission and brand, and a model which has been shared with colleagues and cultural

attractions around the world. Eureka! Mersey is being developed through - and will be

sustained by - a cutting edge approach to co-creation with local children and young people.

During the design process, groups of young people have been working alongside leading

scientists and engineers to choose the questions Eureka! Mersey will ask, the stories it will tell

and the challenges it will invite young people to explore.

The new attraction aims to stimulate engagement in sectors prioritised as the drivers of LCR’s

future economic growth. The broad themes picked from these drivers, that formed the starting

point for the co-creative development of content, are:

• Health and Life Sciences

• Digital and Creative

• Low Carbon

• Innovation

• Advanced Manufacturing

Eureka! Mersey will offer 3 key elements:

• Permanent exhibitions: inspiring environments exploring real-life science stories

• Hands-on activities: inviting young people to ‘make and do’ and tackle practical

challenges

• Encounters with scientists and engineers: bringing young people into regular

contact with people from the world of science and work, to understand more about

careers in science

Our approach builds on a well-established and successful methodology developed by Eureka!

over many years to ensure children and young people have a real voice in shaping what we

create for them. Every gallery developed for Eureka! in Halifax benefits from the input and

Eureka! Mersey


opinions of our children’s advisory group, Ideas United. Every new initiative draws on the

views and preferences of the specific group targeted.
