In plain English

The Science Museum Group is looking for an audiovisual (AV) specialist to design, supply, install and set up all the sound and video equipment for a new exhibition about Manchester, cotton and transatlantic slavery at the Science and Industry Museum. The work includes getting the equipment ready, installing it, testing it, making it work properly and handling any warranty claims.

What the buyer wants

• Design and specify the AV system for the exhibition • Procure and configure all non-standard audiovisual equipment before installation • Install, integrate and commission all AV systems on site • Program and test everything so it works correctly • Hand over the system to the museum and manage warranty claims with manufacturers • Remove and dispose of equipment at the end (de-installation)

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This contract is almost certainly closed to most small businesses because it requires specialist AV integrator experience with complex museum-scale projects, likely high insurance requirements, and the ability to manage procurement and warranty administration across multiple manufacturers, which pushes it toward larger established AV firms.
