## Summary

The Science Museum Group in London has successfully completed the procurement process for enhancing the graphics of the Flight Gallery, located on Level 3 of the museum. This initiative falls under the industry category of "Graphic display panels" and "Printing and graphics equipment." The procurement, conducted through an open procedure, reached the award stage as of 1st October 2025, with the contract effective from 3rd January 2024 to 31st May 2024. The awarded contract, valued at £22,930.50, was assigned to Displayways Limited. The procurement aims to improve the gallery's layout during scheduled updates, with final delivery and upgrades taking place globally, including key locations like the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and the Channel Islands.

This tender opens up substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in display graphics, particularly those adept at producing large-scale panels and speciality labels. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to participate, as the Science Museum Group supports inclusive procurement practices. Companies with expertise in graphic installations for public institutions could greatly benefit from engaging in such contracts, not only through direct employment but by bolstering their portfolio with prestigious cultural projects that span multiple regions globally.

## 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
