## Summary

The Science Museum Group is currently inviting tenders for the project titled "Operation Ouch!" aimed at designing an immersive exhibition experience focussed on the digestive system. This procurement falls under the construction category for art and cultural buildings and is taking place in London (postal code SW7 2DD). The tender period concludes on 13th July 2022, with the contract period starting from 3rd August 2022 until 21st July 2023. This open procedure is not part of a recurrent procurement cycle.

This opportunity presents a significant business growth potential, particularly for creative design companies with experience in delivering interactive exhibitions and large-scale set designs. Firms that excel in innovative, playful, and immersive experiences would be well-suited to compete for this project, leveraging their capabilities to translate the essence of the iconic "Operation Ouch!" television programme into a multi-sensory, engaging experience for families.

## Notice

We are seeking a creative design company who will use an imaginative, playful and fun design to take visitors on a journey through the digestive system. This is not about creating a standard exhibition, but an immersive set design that works within a gallery setting. The design team will work with the partners to realise a multi-sensory experience for families that is dynamic, surprising and entertaining. The successful Design Team will deliver the 2D, and 3D design for our forthcoming temporary and touring exhibition, Operation Ouch! Digestion. This project requires a creative, multi-disciplinary studio with demonstrable track record of delivering exceptional exhibitions, visitor experiences and larger than life setworks, that integrate and foreground interactive and playful moments. They will need to respond to the key design challenge of translating the iconic look and feel of the TV show into a 3D experience.
