Learning takes place in four themed zones, carefully designed to be realistic and simulate a host of hazards that visitors might experience in different environments. For the most part, activities are delivered by trained volunteer rangers who are managed by a small staff team from Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service's Prevention Department. We offer four core programmes, which last between 2.5 and 4 hours: - SafetyStars for pupils in Years 2 - SafetyQuest for pupils in Years 5 - SafeWise for teenagers and young people - SaferTogether for adult visitors attending as a part of a community group. We are seeking a creative partner, with experience in producing special effects and / or technology for the education or visitor attraction sectors, to work with us to develop a more immersive and interactive experience . This may include video projection (real life or animated), sound effects, physical effects or any other ideas you might have. In short, we are open to innovative ideas of delivering our messaging within the area that we currently have. ## CPV classification Video equipment Educational software package Training software package Educational software development services Youth education services Safety education services Safety training services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-055b5f-2025-08-05T15:27:13+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-055b5f-2025-08-05T15:27:13+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
