UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Science Museum Group, a central government public authority, is inviting tenders for the "Wonderlab MEP Survey" at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester. This procurement process is at the tender update stage as of 15 July 2025 and aims to conduct an intrusive survey and report for the proposed Wonderlab project. Interested parties can submit tenders by the final deadline of 23:59 on 5 August 2025, with the inquiry period closing on 18 July 2025. This open competition, conducted below the threshold, focuses on services related to architectural, engineering, and building-surveying industries. The contract period is slated from 18 August 2025 to 31 October 2025, with a potential extension up to 31 December 2025.

This tender offers a substantial opportunity for firms specialising in architectural and building surveying, engineering services, and consultative construction. Suitable businesses will likely have experience in geophysical surveys and archaeological site assessments, aligning with the tender's focus areas. The project allows smaller and specialised firms to compete within an open and potentially lucrative procurement process given the industry's CPV classifications. Successful bids can establish credibility with a prominent public authority and pave the way for future collaborations with the Science Museum Group.
