## Summary

The Science Museum Group is seeking a designer for the 2028 “Hey Duggee’s Big Day Out” early years experience at the Science and Industry Museum. The work is to provide full design services, covering both 3D and 2D design; the designer may also provide lighting design. This is a specialist exhibition and visitor-experience design commission for a museum setting, rather than a supply of equipment or a general design brief. The commissioning organisation is the Science Museum Group, and the experience will be delivered at the Science and Industry Museum. The requirement is suited to firms able to develop and deliver creative design for a family-focused museum experience, including spatial and graphic design elements.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The process reached tender, with quotations requested via the Science Museum Group’s In-Tend portal. Suppliers could ask questions until 13 November 2026 at 17:00, and the quotation deadline was 20 November 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is 7 December 2026 to 31 January 2029. The stated tender value is £70,000 excluding VAT (£84,000 including VAT). The procurement is a single lot. Qualitative responses are scored using the assessment methodology in the invitation to quote; price is scored relative to the lowest-priced compliant quotation, using the total available marks multiplied by the lowest compliant price divided by the quotation price.

This opportunity suits experienced exhibition, museum or visitor-experience designers with the capability to take a concept through both 2D and 3D design for an early years audience. Firms with relevant work in interactive or family-focused cultural settings may find the brief particularly aligned with their portfolio. The scope calls for full design services, so bidders should be able to develop the overall experience as well as its spatial and graphic design. Lighting design is an optional additional capability, not a stated requirement for every bidder. The single-lot commission is likely to favour a supplier able to coordinate the design disciplines and deliver the work across the contract period. The scoring combines qualitative assessment with a price score based on comparison with the lowest compliant quotation.
