Notice Description

The Science Museum Group (SMG) is a group of five museums: o Science Museum, London o Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester o National Railway Museum, York o Locomotion: National Railway Museum, Shildon o National Science and Media Museum, Bradford The group comprises of two legal entities: o The Board of Trustees of the Science Museum (the Museum), a non-departmental public body operating at arm's length from its sponsor, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), and an exempt charity under Schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011, with DCMS acting as its principal regulator. o SCMG Enterprises Limited, a wholly-owned trading subsidiary. The five museums are a key national resource. With an unparalleled collection in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine, SMG is uniquely placed to draw people of all ages to engage with science in an inspirational and informal way. It is the most significant group of science museums in the world, with over 7 million items in the collection, and received nearly 6 million visits a year. The Group has ambitious strategic plans for the coming years, as outlined in Inspiring Futures: Strategic Priorities 2017-2030 (available on the SMG website), despite the challenging economic environment and continuing uncertainty over Government funding. These plans include significant investment in the physical and digital estates, continuing exhibition and gallery development, and investment in new methods of income generation.

In Enterprises, these activities include: o general retailing (through both on site and online channels) o the operation of cinemas and interactive simulators, o catering, o corporate hire, o brand licensing, image sales, and publishing, and o sponsorship of commercial exhibitions. These activities take place across the group's five museums.
