Summary of the contracting process

The Science Museum Group in London is seeking to commission interactive exhibit makers for a Eurovision exhibition titled "Eurovision exhibition – Digital Interactives," associated with the 70th broadcast of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2026. The tender process, initiated on 20th August 2025, is at the Tender stage, with two lots available: LOT A - "Get Set game" and LOT B - "Performance Space." The procurement concerns the services industry, specifically museum-exhibition services. Interested suppliers have until 22nd September 2025 to submit proposals via the designated online platform. The total gross contract value is estimated at £50,400, with the procurement conducted as an open competition under the "Below threshold - open" classification.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for SMEs involved in interactive exhibit design and production to expand their business footprint within the cultural and entertainment sector. Given the experiential nature of the exhibits and their focus on combining technology with entertainment, companies with strengths in digital interactives, audio-visual production, or museum services would be particularly well-suited to compete.
