PHD has identified a need for specialist expertise to address several strategic questions that cannot be answered internally with sufficient confidence. Existing evidence suggests pricing, admissions structure and visitor decision-making are affecting demand and conversion. However, the organisation requires independent analysis and modelling to understand: • Whether current pricing levels suppress demand. • How visitor segments respond to price and product structure. • The impact of removing lower-commitment admission products. • The relationship between yield, volume and long-term sustainability. • The role of digital channels in visitor conversion. • How future ticketing structures can support both commercial performance and audience growth. Deliverables • The commission is expected to produce: • A recommended admissions architecture. • A recommended pricing framework. • Recommendations regarding lower-priced entry products. • Recommendations regarding Gift Aid. • Recommendations regarding discounting. • Recommendations regarding affiliate, trade and third-party sales. • A practical implementation roadmap for Easter 2027. Procurement Structure An open competitive procurement exercise will be undertaken. Potential suppliers will be invited to submit proposals detailing: • Understanding of the brief. • Proposed methodology. • Relevant experience. • Project team. • Cost proposal. • Delivery timetable. Submissions will be evaluated against: • Understanding of strategic challenge. • Methodology and robustness. • Relevant expertise. • Practical applicability. • Value for money. • Quality of proposed team.

Initial market research was undertaken with a variety of suppliers that outlined different approaches to the work - the estimates provided ranged from £60,000 - £120,000. Funding is expected to be met from approved budgets and supports long-term commercial growth priorities for both RNM and MRT. Failure to undertake the study may result in: • Continued suppression of visitor demand. • Reduced accessibility for key audience segments. • Inefficient pricing structures. • Lost admissions income. • Poor strategic decision-making based on incomplete evidence. • Failure to optimise the balance between revenue generation and audience growth.

The gateway will mark the transition from the busy Broadway frontage into a semi-private communal courtyard serving new homes and Class E spaces within a mixed-use, affordable housing development.
