## Summary

The Victoria and Albert Museum is initiating a procurement process for its "Temporary Exhibition Build Contractors Approved List", focusing on construction work for exhibition-related buildings. This tender is currently in the active stage and is set to conclude on 21 November 2019. The project location is London, UK, with an estimated contract value ranging from £1,000,000 to £5,000,000 over a contract period running from 9 December 2019 to 9 December 2021. The procurement will be conducted through an open procedure, allowing a broad range of applicants to submit their Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQs). Interested suppliers are encouraged to apply through an online platform, with opportunities to join this list expected to recur every few months.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to engage with high-profile exhibition projects at a renowned institution. Companies specializing in construction, design, and installation for temporary exhibitions would be well-suited to compete. With budgets that can reach up to £1,000,000 depending on project complexity, businesses that can deliver comprehensive exhibition builds, including related installations such as AV hardware and lighting, are encouraged to seize this opportunity for potential growth and collaboration with the prestigious V&A.

## Notice

The V&A is inviting interested Contractors to submit a completed Pre-Qualification Questionnaire ("PQQ") to be considered to be appointed onto its Temporary Exhibition Build Contractors Approved List. We anticipate that the list will run for 2-4 years. The V&A has an annual programme of changing temporary exhibitions and displays. Complementing the Museum's permanent collection, they cover a broad range of subjects from design and fashion to photography and architecture. Construction budgets range from approximately PS200,000 to PS1,000,000 per project depending on the size and complexity of the exhibition in question. The upper end of this range will often include AV hardware, in addition to setworks, showcases, graphic production, lighting, electrics and specific object mounts where they are integral to the build. The V&A envisages that it will make available the opportunity for accepting new Contractors onto the list every 3 - 6 months. Interested suppliers that do not meet the deadline in this notice can email their interest procurement@vam.ac.uk at any time for details of the next opportunity to submit a PQQ. If an Applicant submits a PQQ which is not successful, they may not reapply for a minimum of one year.
