Summary of the contracting process

Royal Museums Greenwich is seeking a wayfinding signage contractor for the Royal Observatory Greenwich First Light project. The work covers the production, supply and installation of signage throughout the site, including inside buildings and outdoors, alongside development and installation of the contractor’s design portion. The contractor will coordinate with the project’s setworks principal contractors and other client-direct works packages during off-site and on-site activity. This is a signage and museum-site wayfinding services contract, with delivery at the Royal Observatory Greenwich in London. The procurement is intended to provide clear wayfinding across the site as part of the First Light project.

The buyer has reached the tender stage and is inviting shortlisted contractors to submit offers following a two-stage competitive flexible procedure, with an initial supplier questionnaire. Expressions of interest were due by 12:00 noon on 12 November 2026; questions were due by 17:00 on 5 November 2026. The contract period is 28 May 2027 to 29 August 2028, with an award decision scheduled by 28 May 2027. The estimated value is £220,000 excluding VAT (£264,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation gives 60% weight to technical quality and 40% to commercial considerations. Electronic submissions are permitted in English, and shortlisted contractors are invited to visit the site.

The opportunity is suited to signage businesses able to manage a complete wayfinding package, from producing and supplying signs through installation, including the contractor-designed elements. Firms should be equipped to deliver work across both indoor and outdoor parts of a museum site and to coordinate their activities with other contractors and client-appointed work packages, both on and off site. The requirement involves several interfaces within a larger project, so suppliers with the capacity to plan installation and design activity alongside other works will be well placed. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable to compete. Shortlisted firms are invited to visit the Royal Observatory Greenwich site, which offers an opportunity to understand the setting before preparing a tender.
