## Summary

The Victoria and Albert Museum is currently running a tender process for the redesign of the Fashion Gallery, with a focus on architectural design services. This project is based in Kensington, London, and aims to create a world-class exhibition space that showcases the museum's extensive collection of dress and textiles. The tender period ends on 15 April 2019, and the intended contract period is from 1 July 2019 to 20 April 2022. The procurement method employed for this opportunity is a selective, restricted procedure.

This tender provides a valuable opportunity for architectural firms and design practices, particularly those who are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses specialising in innovative design and exhibition space concept development will find this project particularly relevant, as it offers a chance to contribute to a prestigious cultural venue while potentially expanding their portfolios with high-profile work. Successful bidders will have the opportunity to shape a significant public gallery enjoyed by diverse audiences for years to come.

Global in reach, but provoking a very personal response, this redesigned gallery will be enjoyed for many years to come. This appointment is for the Lead Designer responsible for the redesign of the Fashion Gallery, including temporary exhibition gallery and retail area. The V&A is inviting interested design practices to apply.
