## Summary

The Natural History Museum is procuring AV hardware integration services for the fit-out of four major public galleries in London. The appointed supplier will work with the museum’s Exhibition Fit Out team and its design and build teams to develop and deliver a robust, consistent AV hardware approach for exhibitions, interactive displays and gallery fit-out lighting. The work forms part of Phase 2 of the NHM150 programme, which is transforming the Western Galleries through base-build refurbishment and complete gallery fit-out. This contract covers the fit-out, with coordination required with the base-build refurbishment, in a Grade I listed building. The approach must be grounded in sustainability and accessibility. The requirement is classified as museum-exhibition services and hardware integration consultancy.

The procurement has reached tender: the museum invited offers through an open procedure. Bidders could submit offers electronically in English. Enquiries had to be submitted by 25 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 23 October 2026 at 12:00. The award decision was due by 13 November 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2032. Its estimated value is £300,000 excluding VAT, or £360,000 including VAT. There is one lot, with an estimated value of £300,000 excluding VAT. Evaluation is weighted 60% quality, 10% social value and 30% price. The opportunity is above the relevant threshold and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits an experienced AV hardware integrator or consultancy able to support museum exhibition and gallery fit-outs at substantial scale. Strong candidates will be able to work collaboratively with design and build teams, coordinate AV hardware with wider refurbishment activity, and create reliable, consistent solutions across four major public galleries. Relevant capability includes integrating hardware for exhibitions, interactive visitor experiences and gallery lighting within a Grade I listed building. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate approaches that address sustainability and accessibility alongside technical delivery. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so established specialists and capable SME teams may be well placed to compete, provided they can manage the required coordination and delivery responsibilities.
