Weekly Report: 25 November: Exhibition Design of All Sizes

25th November, 2024 Public Weekly Reports

📚 The story:

Last week's tenders and RFPs illustrate how varied projects can be for Exhibition and Exhibit Designers. We published many design contract notices for projects ranging from a gallery at the Library of Congress and a travelling exhibition for the Canadian Museum of History to exhibit design at an ancient fort in Galway, Ireland. With such variation in project scale and budget, we're sure the contracts below will offer something for contractors of all sizes. However, for our pick(s) of the week, we had to highlight two of the most high-value contracts unrelated to design: Hard and Soft Facilities Management for London's Natural History Museum, with a combined total of almost £40 million. (Similarly, another major national institution requiring support for the care of its estate is the Smithsonian, which issued a presolicitation for an Architect-Engineer Services IDIQ). As always, make sure to look through the index. This week's report has a narrow focus, and there were plenty of exciting contracts across all regions and services.

The estimated contract value for Hard Facilities is £17,500,000, and the estimated contract value for Soft Facilities is £19,850,000. The deadline for submitting proposals for both contracts is 19 December 2024.
