## Summary

The National Maritime Museum, based in London, is seeking design teams for the 'Our Place in the Universe' exhibition as part of the 'First Light' project. The procurement method is selective with a tender deadline of January 18, 2024. The contract period is from July 12, 2024, to April 30, 2028. The industry category is museum-exhibition services.

This tender provides an opportunity for design teams specialising in museum-exhibition services to work on creating new displays at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete in this restricted procedure tender, aiming to engage the public in contemporary astronomy and science.

## Notice

We are currently redeveloping our exhibitions, galleries and displays across the Royal Observatory Greenwich, London as part of a major capital project, 'First Light'. This includes a number of distinctive yet connected exhibition environments which we have grouped together to form discrete narrative workstreams. We are currently seeking design teams to work with us on two major exhibition groupings: 'Our Place in the Universe' (this procurement) and 'Our Place on Earth' (a separate procurement). For 'Our Place in the Universe' we are looking for a Lead Exhibition Designer to work with us to create new displays that ignite people's curiosity in contemporary astronomy and science, fulfilling the ROG's mission to be the national centre for the public understanding of astronomy. The scope of services will include full exhibition design services, with 3D, 2D and lighting design as core requirements.
