Summary of the contracting process

The Science Museum Group is seeking a contractor to fit out a video games exhibition and provide graphics at the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford. The work is a combination of museum exhibition fit-out and graphic design, supporting the presentation of the museum’s video games exhibition. The procurement is categorised as works and includes museum construction and exhibition services. The delivery location is the National Science and Media Museum, Bradford.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The contract period is set to run from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2028. The estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). Suppliers could submit enquiries until 13 November 2026 at 5pm, and the tender response deadline was 18 November 2026 at 5pm. There is one lot. Qualitative responses are assessed using the scoring method set out in the invitation to tender. Price is scored in proportion to the lowest-priced compliant bid, subject to the budget ceiling.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to deliver exhibition fit-out work alongside the design and production of exhibition graphics. Relevant experience in museum or cultural-sector exhibition projects would help demonstrate a suitable understanding of visitor-facing displays and the requirements of a museum setting. Suppliers will need the capacity to manage the fit-out and graphics as a coordinated package over the contract period, and to prepare a compliant tender response covering both qualitative requirements and price. The work may suit an exhibition contractor working with an in-house graphics team or specialist design and production partners.
