This procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 15 February 2018. The total contract value is estimated at £80,000, and the contract will commence on 12 March 2018 and conclude by 30 May 2019. The industry category for this tender falls under museum-exhibition services. This opportunity is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in exhibition services, installation management, and logistical support within the cultural sector. Businesses with experience in museum environments and those capable of providing teams for exhibition setup and takedown will be well-positioned to compete successfully for this contract. Engaging with the Science Museum Group presents a valuable chance for growth within the arts and culture sector, particularly for firms looking to expand their portfolio in exhibition-related services across the UK. ## Notice The Science Museum Group ('SMG') is touring its Robots exhibition to venues across the UK until 2019. The exhibition is currently located at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester and will be travelling to venues in Newcastle and Edinburgh as part of the UK tour. SMG is looking to appoint an experienced Installation Manager to act as Principal Contractor and manage the installation and deinstallation of the exhibition at all UK venues. Please note that at the first venue (Museum of Science and Industry) the requirement is to provide a full team to deinstall the exhibition. For the remaining venues the requirement is to oversee and manage a team that will be provided by the host venue. This is with the exception of a dedicated AV technician (please see Section 5 for more information). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a184dc1b-1af1-4760-a448-21fe8e583c91 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | 15 Feb 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 12 Mar 2018 - 30 May 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCIENCE MUSEUM GROUP | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW7 2DD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Brompton & Hans Town | | Westminster constituency | Kensington and Bayswater | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 45212313 - Museum construction work - 92500000 - Library, archives, museums and other cultural services - 92521000 - Museum services - 92521100 - Museum-exhibition services ## Release History - 2 Feb 2018 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a184dc1b-1af1-4760-a448-21fe8e583c91 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a184dc1b-1af1-4760-a448-21fe8e583c91 2nd February 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB151151 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
