## Summary

The Science Museum Group located in London has completed a public procurement process for the production of the "Medicine Galleries Main Contractor" project, which involved a significant construction and fit-out under the main procurement category of works. The contract, valued at approximately £5,744,074, was awarded on 27th February 2018 to the supplier Paragon and encompasses the transformation of the first floor to create new exhibition spaces for the museum's medicine collections. The tender process followed a selective procurement method and closed on 25th May 2017, with the contract period running from 27th February 2018 to 7th December 2018.

This tender provided an opportunity for businesses in the construction and fit-out sector to grow, especially those focusing on large-scale projects in cultural institutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were particularly suited to participate in this process, given the categorisation of the tender, which encouraged diverse supplier engagement. The project not only fosters potential partnerships for specialised contractors in areas such as mechanical and electrical works but also paves the way for innovative design solutions tailored for exhibition spaces.

## Notice

As a part of the Science Museum's masterplan the new suite of Medicine Galleries will transform the first floor of the Science Museum, creating a new home for the Museum's medicine collections. Covering more than 3000m2, the new galleries will be almost double the size of the previous medicine galleries.The works will involve a full strip out of the existing galleries, new M&E services throughout, a high specification fit-out, new windows and exhibition display cases. As well as the galleries there will be works to create new WCs and new passenger lifts.
