This project involves maintenance upgrades for the Flight gallery on Level 3 of the Science Museum, including lighting improvements, interpretation updates, and accessibility improvements. The procurement method is an open procedure (below threshold), with the tender period ending on 10th December 2023 and the contract period scheduled from 18th December 2023 to 1st March 2024. This tender for graphic display panels and printing equipment offers business growth opportunities for companies specializing in graphic design, printing, and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. Businesses interested in providing services for museum exhibit improvements should consider applying to enhance the Flight gallery at the Science Museum, contributing to cultural heritage preservation and public engagement initiatives. ## Notice The Flight gallery on Level 3 of the Science Museum was originally installed in 1963 and underwent its last major update in 1993. A project is underway for review and minor update to the gallery in 2023. Maintenance upgrades are planned, including lighting improvements, interpretation updates and accessibility improvements. In terms of content, the main changes will be made to the graphics, interpretation panels and object labels. The layout of the gallery will remain the same, with objects both within cases and on open display remaining in situ. We are looking to introduce a more uniform labelling approach more in line with our newer galleries. The gallery will incorporate several types, detailed in the specification attached but broadly in the following categories: - Large-scale wall-mounted panels - In-case angled labels (label mounts to be provided) - Labels for freestanding or wall-mounted angled plinths - Racking-mounted labels - Various numbering - Large-scale title / dates Additional information: You can view our tender documents and apply for the opportunity here: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sciencemuseumgroup/aspx/Home Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a43bc207-20f1-4ad8-89bd-771acfac8a12 | | 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 | 20 Nov 2023 | | Submission deadline | 10 Dec 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 18 Dec 2023 - 1 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 31682230 - Graphic display panels - 42962000 - Printing and graphics equipment ## Release History - 20 Nov 2023 at 15:06 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a43bc207-20f1-4ad8-89bd-771acfac8a12 - 20 Nov 2023 at 14:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a43bc207-20f1-4ad8-89bd-771acfac8a12 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a43bc207-20f1-4ad8-89bd-771acfac8a12 20th November 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sciencemuseumgroup/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sciencemuseumgroup/aspx/Home - https://www.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
