## Summary

The Science Museum Group in London is initiating a public procurement process for the refurbishment of the Lecture Theatre, a key space used for live science shows and lectures, with a contract value of £450,000 and a minimum value of £420,000. This open tender, classified under "Lecture theatre construction work" and "Museum construction work", is currently in the active stage of the tender process, which will conclude on 21st December 2016. The contract period is scheduled to start on 10th January 2017 and run until 1st May 2017.

This opportunity presents a significant chance for businesses specialising in construction and refurbishment, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to participate in a prominent project that enhances a well-known public institution. Contractors that focus on interior design, project management, and construction works would find this tender especially suitable, allowing them to engage in a project that aims to improve visitor experiences in one of the UK's standout museums.

## Notice

The Museum's Lecture Theatre is used by over 75,000 visitors a year and is central to our public programme, as it is used daily for live science shows and lectures. The Science Museum is the most visited museum by booked school groups in the UK and has an international reputation for its excellence in programming for STEM education. The current space looks tired and worn, and extraneous build conceals the original structure and does not make best use of the space available.The current environment is far from an appropriate setting for the important and popular part of the Museum's programme offer it serves. This project aims to significantly improve our visitors' experience in one of our most impactful public spaces. This project forms part of the Museum's Masterplan, which will improve the experience of our visitors for generations to come through well considered and beautiful design.
