## Summary

The Science Museum Group, a central government public authority based in London, has concluded an open procurement process for AV Integration Services for the "Horrible Science Exhibition" at both the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester and the Science Museum in London. This contract involves the detailed design, technical commissioning, installation, and de-rigging of audio-visual systems, along with a warranty for the AV control system valid throughout the exhibition from February 2026 to February 2028. The award of this contract was finalised on 11th November 2025, for a total tender value of £71,604. The procurement method was below threshold open competition.

This tender represents an opportunity for growth, particularly for SMEs in the audio-visual services and installation industries. Companies specialising in repair and maintenance services of audio-visual and optical equipment, as well as those providing installation services for radio, television, sound, and video equipment, would have been especially well-suited to this project. With an emphasis on both price and quality, the contract sought providers with the capability to manage large-scale installations across multiple venues, enhancing their portfolio and demonstrating expertise in handling prestigious projects with central government clients.
