## Summary

Renfrewshire Council is conducting the procurement process for the "Paisley Museum Re-imagined - Exhibition Design Team" project, which aims to appoint a design team for the £42 million extension and refurbishment of Paisley Museum located in Paisley, UK. Currently in the Tender stage, this process involves a selective procurement method using competitive dialogue. The procurement timeline indicates that the tender period concluded on 18 June 2018, with the contract for these services awarded shortly thereafter on 17 October 2018, with a value of £998,900.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in exhibition and design services, particularly those specialising in 3D and graphic design. Companies that provide structural design, lighting design, and creative consultation would be well-suited to compete, as the project seeks to enhance accessibility and visitor engagement at the museum. Given the international focus of the museum’s transformation, firms with experience in cultural exhibitions and community-oriented design could find an advantageous position in this procurement process.
