The open procurement process concluded on 11th April 2025, with the contract period starting on 21st May 2025 and ending on 30th September 2026. The supplier chosen for this project is Sam Forster Associates Ltd, based in London. The procurement falls under the industry category of art and cultural building construction, signifying the project's cultural importance and artistic orientation, located at the museum's Exhibition Road site in South Kensington, London.

This tender opens up opportunities for businesses in the construction and electrical services sectors, particularly those with expertise in cultural and exhibition environments.

It also presents chances for suppliers to forge long-term relationships with the Science Museum Group, a leading cultural organisation. While this particular awarding process does not favour small to medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises, larger contractors with experience in similar project scopes stand to benefit significantly from participating in such fruitful endeavours.
