## Summary

The Natural History Museum in London has awarded a contract for the development, manufacture, and installation of life-size replicas of the Diplodocus carnegii and Hypsilophodon foxii. This project is part of the Museum's Urban Nature Project and is classified under the CPV code for services provided by sculptors. The contract, valued at £514,700, started on 19th April 2021 and is scheduled to conclude on 30th November 2022. The procurement method used was a selective procedure, and the tender process reached the award stage on 15th April 2021, with the opportunity now complete.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the art and sculpture sectors, particularly those with experience in creating large installations for public spaces. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-positioned to compete, given the nature of the project. The focus on engaging audiences through innovative exhibits offers a pathway for businesses to showcase their skills while contributing to the Museum's vision for transformation and public engagement.

## Notice

In line with our new Vision and Strategy to 2031, the Natural History Museum is looking to help transform the study of natural history, engage and involve the widest possible audience, and develop our galleries and grounds. Our priority project is the Urban Nature Project, which involves the transformation of the 5-acres of gardens outside the Waterhouse Building. A major feature of the new design will be the installation of life size replicas of key specimens such as the Diplodocus carnegii and Hypsilophodon foxii. As a result, the Museum has awarded a contract for the development, manufacture and installation of these replicas.
