Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Eurovision exhibition – Digital Interactives" was initiated by the Science Museum Group, a central government public authority based in London. The aim of this project is to support the Eurovision Song Contest’s 70th broadcast in 2026 through a unique exhibition highlighting the science and technology behind global live broadcasting. The procurement involved an open competition method below the threshold for two lots: 'Get Set game' and 'Performance Space'. The tender process commenced with invitations for proposals that concluded on 22nd September 2025. This stage is currently advancing with contracts already awarded, signifying its completion stage, with contracts in effect from 12th September 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This tender opens up exciting opportunities for companies specialising in museum-exhibition services, specialty design, and interactive exhibit-making. With projects aimed at creating experiential and high-quality interactives, businesses involved in graphic and project-design services other than construction are well-suited to partake in such initiatives. Large-scale organisations such as Blynk and Su Koh Design were successful bidders and have secured contracts, indicating lucrative prospects for businesses capable of delivering innovative and engaging visitor experiences. Participation in such cultural and technological showcases can significantly enhance a company's portfolio and market visibility, presenting substantial growth opportunities.

Notice Title

Eurovision exhibition - Digital Interactives

Notice Description

Launching to coincide with the 70th broadcast of the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in 2026, the Eurovision exhibition and events programme will showcase the science and technology needed to make a live global broadcast possible. The exhibition will be experiential, offering high quality, fun interactives alongside iconic Eurovision media, offering a taste of the glamour and excitement of the competition. This will be combined with objects from our BBC heritage collection, as well as loans from key partners and Eurovision superfans. We will also hear from contestants themselves about their journey to the iconic competition and their experiences competing, from fans and social media influencers about why they love the competition so much, and the army of invisible backstage workers who make the magic happen every year. We are seeking interactive exhibit maker(s) to create our two interactives for the exhibition. Suppliers can bid for one or both of these lots. a) LOT A: Get Set game - visitors step into the shoes of the Eurovision Song Contest stage crew, using technology to set up the props for a star performance in super-fast time. b) LOT B: Performance Space - the audio and visuals in this space will make visitors the stars of the show, singing and dance along with iconic performances from Eurovision.
