## Summary

Science Museum Group is procuring specialist risk-management, auditing and consultancy services for Legionella control and air hygiene. The contractor will provide expert assurance that the organisation’s management protocols are being followed, supporting the health and safety of visitors and staff. The work is a professional hygiene and compliance service, covering auditing and advice rather than routine cleaning or facilities maintenance. The requirement relates to Science Museum Group operations, with the buyer based at the Science Museum in London. Suppliers with expertise in Legionella management, air hygiene, health and safety compliance, auditing and consultancy are the most relevant prospects. The procurement is classified under hygiene services.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 1 November 2026 at 17:00, and tender responses by 16 November 2026 at 17:00. The planned award decision date is 4 December 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an option, at Science Museum Group’s discretion, to extend it by up to two years, giving a maximum end date of 31 March 2032. The estimated overall value is £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). Quality carries 70% of the evaluation weighting and price 30%.

This opportunity suits contractors that can provide dependable, expert auditing and consultancy for Legionella management and air hygiene. Businesses should be able to assess whether relevant protocols are being followed and provide findings or advice that help protect visitors and staff. The requirement is best suited to established compliance, environmental health, water safety, air-quality or specialist hygiene consultancies with practical knowledge of auditing and risk management. It may also suit a specialist firm able to combine Legionella and air-hygiene expertise within one service. Responses must be prepared in the form required by the Tender Response Document and signed by an authorised representative, then submitted electronically through the buyer’s procurement portal.
