Summary of the contracting process

The Science Museum Group commissioned graphic design consultancy services for Wonderlab at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester. The work supports the development and delivery of visual communications for the gallery, building on Wonderlab installations at the Science Museum in London, the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford and the National Railway Museum in York. The requirement sits within museum and museum-exhibition services as well as graphic design services. The buyer is the Science Museum Group, a central government public authority. Delivery is focused on the Science and Industry Museum, so relevant suppliers should be able to work with a museum team and create visual communications for a public-facing science exhibition.

This below-threshold procurement used an open competition and has completed. It had one lot, evaluated on quality weighted at 70% and price at 30%. The tender deadline was 22 May 2026, following an enquiry deadline of 8 May 2026. The estimated tender value was £55,000 excluding VAT, or £66,000 including VAT. The contract was awarded to All Around Design, an SME, with the contract signed on 27 July 2026. The signed contract is valued at £60,675 excluding VAT, or £72,810 including VAT. Its stated period runs from 27 July 2026 to 31 August 2028, with a possible extension to 31 August 2029 based on the project programme.

This award indicates demand for specialist graphic design supporting the development and delivery of visual communications in a science-museum exhibition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong graphic design capability, experience translating exhibition or museum content into clear public-facing visual communication, and the ability to work as a consultant alongside a museum project team. The emphasis on quality means suppliers would need to demonstrate the strength of their creative approach and its suitability for an educational, visitor-focused environment, alongside competitive pricing. Experience delivering work across exhibition development and installation programmes would be particularly relevant, as would the capacity to support a substantial gallery project over a multi-year period.
