## Summary

The Natural History Museum in London has completed a procurement process for the development, manufacture, and installation of life-size replicas of the Diplodocus carnegii and Hypsilophodon foxii as part of their Urban Nature Project. This contract, awarded through a selective procurement method with competitive negotiation, has an estimated value of £514,700 and was signed on 15th April 2021. The contract's key address for delivery is in South Kensington, London, and the procurement primarily falls under the services category related to sculptural works.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the fields of sculpting, fabrication, and structural engineering, to engage with a prestigious institution like the Natural History Museum. Given the emphasis on sustainability and material quality within the award criteria, businesses that specialise in eco-friendly practices and high-quality production standards will be well-positioned to compete. The scope for subcontracting also allows smaller enterprises to participate in the procurement process, enhancing collaboration and growth potential within the industry.

## 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.
