Summary of the contracting process

The Science Museum Group is seeking an external project management consultancy to support three masterplan feasibility studies. The requirement covers feasibility assessment, advisory and analytical work, construction consultancy, and construction management services (CPV 71241000, 71530000 and 71540000). It is a professional services opportunity for a consultancy able to provide project management input across masterplan development and feasibility work, helping the Group assess and shape proposed projects before delivery. The buying organisation is the Science Museum Group, a public authority based at the Science Museum in London. The requirement is organised as a single package of work, covering all three feasibility studies rather than separate opportunities for each study. It is therefore relevant to project management and built-environment consultancies offering multidisciplinary feasibility and construction advisory services.

The procurement has reached tender: the Science Museum Group invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot process. The buyer set 16 September 2026 at 17:00 for enquiries and 28 September 2026 at 09:00 for tender submissions. Electronic submission is allowed. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 December 2027. The estimated tender value is £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. The lot value is recorded as AED 100,000 excluding VAT and AED 120,000 including VAT. The award basis is set out in the tender documents. The process uses the UK Procurement Act 2023 legal basis and is below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits consultancies that combine external project management with feasibility, advisory, analysis, construction consultancy and construction management capability. It is particularly relevant to firms experienced in supporting masterplans and assessing proposed projects before detailed delivery decisions are made. Suppliers should be able to coordinate work across three feasibility studies and provide structured project management input alongside built-environment advice. The requirement may suit a multidisciplinary consultancy, a construction management practice with strong feasibility expertise, or a project management firm that can bring in complementary technical capability. Businesses with a track record of advising public or cultural-sector clients on masterplan development, project options and construction-related feasibility work are likely to understand the type of service required.
