## Summary

The Science Museum Group is seeking a feasibility visioning architect to support its masterplan. The commission covers advisory architectural services and architectural design, with engineering and planning services also within scope. The work is for the Group’s museum estate; the buying organisation is based at the Science Museum in London. The requirement is a professional services commission rather than a construction contract, and is suited to architecture practices able to develop and advise on a feasibility vision for a masterplan.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The process reached the tender stage, with a single lot for the commission. The deadline for questions was 19 November 2026 at 5pm, and bids were due by 24 November 2026 at 3pm. The contract period is 26 January to 26 August 2027. The estimated value is £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). The award basis is set out in the tender documents. Electronic submission was permitted through the Science Museum Group’s e-tendering portal.

This opportunity suits architectural practices with the design and advisory expertise to develop a feasibility vision for a masterplan, alongside the ability to address related engineering and planning considerations. It is a focused, time-limited consultancy commission for one supplier, rather than a large construction delivery package. Firms should be capable of working with a major museum organisation and translating its masterplanning needs into a considered feasibility vision. The Group’s museums provide the context for the work, with the commissioning organisation based at the Science Museum in London.
