## Summary

The Science Museum Group, located in South Kensington, London, has awarded a contract titled "ScM Flight Gallery - Lighting Upgrades" under the industry category of lighting systems. This project, with a contract period from 3rd January 2024 to 1st March 2024, involves the refurbishment of the lighting in the Science Museum's Flight Gallery. The procurement process was conducted as an open procedure, and the award status is complete, with the supplier being Lux Lucis Ltd. The project aims to address lighting inconsistencies in the gallery, originally updated in 1993, and enhance its overall visitor experience.

This tender opens up considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical and lighting services, particularly those with experience in historical building environments. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can find a competitive edge in such projects due to their agility and specialised expertise. The project's requirements for updated lighting and design align well with SMEs capable of delivering innovative and tailored solutions, potentially fostering subsequent opportunities within the broader museum and cultural sector.

## 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 upgrades (as per this tender), 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. The current lighting has been in place since the last gallery update in 1993 and has only been maintained. As light fixtures and fittings have become obsolete or stopped working these have been allowed to go out of service and so light levels in the gallery have become increasingly low and inconsistent. There are also large windows across the north wall of the gallery, with higher level frosted windows to the north and south so the natural light levels vary significantly throughout the day and with the seasons.
