A UX tender document, often referred to as a Request for Proposal (RFP), is a formal document used by an organisation to outline the scope, objectives, and requirements for a UX design project. It serves as a guide for potential vendors—such as UX design agencies or professionals—by clearly communicating the project’s goals, expectations, and selection criteria. A well-structured tender document helps vendors understand the project’s needs and allows organisations to compare proposals effectively.
I read Chapter 3 of this book, and I found it extremely helpful in clarifying exactly what should be included in a tender document. It was particularly useful for explaining the legislative aspects, which I hadn’t fully considered before. This section provided a clear breakdown of the legal requirements and contractual obligations involved, which will definitely be valuable to reference in the future. Having a solid understanding of this side of the process will ensure I'm better equipped to handle tender documents professionally going forward.
I decided to research the Titanic Quarter and all it’s features as i’m not familiar with the area.
Titanic Quarter is rapidly becoming a focal point for Belfast for fun and leisure – from the high profile lifestyle, sporting and conferencing events in the Titanic Exhibition Centre to a relaxing meal or coffee in one of the area’s many restaurants and cafes, and there’s also a marina and the adjacent SSE Arena entertainment complex.
The titanic doesn’t offer a virtual tour/ experience, this would be something i’d like to explore further.
I decided to take a look at the Palace of Versailles Virtual Tour and see what kind of features it offers. I thought this was a brilliant virtual tour as it had many ways to discover new rooms which I felt was really helpful. You had the option of a map and images to see what room you could explore. As well as this, there was information buttons throughout the tour which gave you the historical facts of a particular piece. It really felt like you were there on an actual tour. It also offered a feature to play classical music in the background which I felt was a nice touch. It was a very calming experience and it felt very special.
The Athens: Acropolis Entry Ticket & VR Audio Guided Tour offers visitors a combination of general entry to the Acropolis and an immersive VR audio guide. This tech-enhanced experience provides historical reconstructions and narration, helping visitors visualise the site in its prime while exploring at their own pace. Ideal for tech-savvy tourists, families, and those seeking an independent, interactive tour, it blends culture with modern technology. While it offers flexibility and engaging content, some may prefer traditional guided tours, and there may be technical limitations with the VR equipment. Overall, it's a unique and valuable way to explore the iconic site.
