UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by the National Maritime Museum, seeking services for the "First Light Digital Project Manager/Producer Services" to manage and produce digital exhibition strands at the Royal Observatory. Spanning from 4th November 2025 to 2nd June 2028, the location for this procurement is London, specifically within the UKI51 region. The project is categorised under museum-exhibition services and was in the Award stage as of 12th November 2025. The procurement method employed was a limited competition, characterised as "below threshold", under a light-touch regime, ensuring only a select group of potential suppliers were invited to tender.

This tender represents a promising opportunity for businesses with expertise in digital project management and production, particularly those specialising in museum and exhibition services. As the successful contract was awarded to Recursive AV Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), similar SMEs in the digital and creative sectors are well-suited to compete for comparable future contracts. Engaging in such projects can significantly enhance business portfolios, especially for companies focusing on serving public authorities like the National Maritime Museum.
