    "description": "1. OverviewThe culture sector in Wales has an important role to play in tackling the climate and nature emergencies, because culture has a unique ability to inspire, connect, share stories, and help us to imagine different futures. The culture sector also needs to manage the impact of a changing climate on cultural and heritage assets and the historic environment, and play its part in becoming net zero, nature friendly and supporting climate justice. As a national cultural institution with a strong record of delivering decarbonisation projects, the National Library of Wales (NLW) is leading a high-profile and cross-cutting Climate Action Programme to support the culture sector in Wales to respond to the climate and nature emergencies. This programme includes developing an online \u2018one stop shop\u2019 platform for anyone working in the cultural sector in Wales to find training and resources, events, case studies, and to share ideas and collaborate on climate and nature action. The National Library of Wales are seeking to engage a company to undertake the development of a new bilingual Diwylliant a Hinsawdd Cymru | Culture and Climate Cymru website and branding, to deliver this online platform.2. ContextIn spring 2024, Welsh Government commissioned a research report into the Welsh culture sector and the climate and nature emergencies,\u202fwhich was conducted by Regen and published alongside Welsh Government\u0027s Priorities for Culture in May 2025. The report recommendations align with and will support delivery of Ambition 16 of the Priorities for Culture, which is for the culture sector to demonstrate \u201cleadership and collaboration in its approaches to sustainable development, building resilience, and tackling the climate and nature emergencies\u201d. Working in partnership with Welsh Government, the National Library of Wales (NLW) will lead on a high profile and cross-cutting programme to implement the recommendations that works across three policy areas \u2013 culture, arts and the historic environment (Cadw). The recommendations of the research report include: - the establishment of a sectoral peer network to focus on climate and nature in the culture sector in Wales- a culture sector \u2018library\u2019 for all to access bilingual, useful guides- host an online forum and collate already active and relevant working groups- facilitate training for the workforce and volunteers- develop case studies and share examples of the Welsh culture sector as \u2018cultural changemakers\u2019 to inspire and engage other policy areas. The delivery of these recommendations will be facilitated by the development of a new website and branding. The National Library of Wales are seeking to engage a company to undertake the development of a new bilingual Diwylliant a Hinsawdd Cymru | Culture and Climate Cymru website and branding, which will facilitate delivery of the above recommendations by acting as a recognisable \u2018one stop shop\u2019 hub providing a library of existing training resources, \u2018how to\u2019 guides and existing networks/working groups, a bank of case studies, information about events and collaborative projects, news articles and a discussion forum for members.3.

The website will include:- a library of existing training resources, \u2018how to\u2019 guides and directory of existing networks/working groups- a bank of case studies- events and opportunities listings (inbuilt event booking not required)- news articles and newsletter signup- a discussion forum with members only access- contact formDeliverablesThe following deliverables are required:\u2022 A new bilingual design template that is modern and accessible to all users and designed for use on current Wordpress sites\u2022 A template that will enable editors to update and maintain the website content, with training provided before the new website goes live.\u2022 Time allowance for editors to upload pre-prepared content before the website goes live.\u2022 An interactive staging prototype of the design to allow editors and stakeholders to test content and functionality before publishing the live site.\u2022 A discussion forum area accessible only through a members\u2019 login.\u2022 Smooth navigation between both English and Welsh language sites and pages\u2022 New Diwylliant a Hinsawdd Cymru | Culture and Climate Cymru branding and logo design.\u2022 Quotes for ongoing annual hosting costs\u2022 Quotes for further maintenance and support (cost per hour)\u2022 Training package for staff\u2022 Search engine optimization for both Welsh and English sitesConsiderationsa.
