  • Technical & professional ability

    The University’s museums have Museum Accreditation, the UK industry standard for museums and galleries. As such only suppliers with proven track records with designing exhibitions for heritage collections will be considered. Suppliers must be able to provide at least 3 relevant examples of design and build exhibition services in the last 3 years.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 25 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “EC0893 Exhibition Design Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 5 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
