In plain English
The Royal Observatory Greenwich wants a contractor to design, produce, and install wayfinding signage (direction signs and information boards) across their site, both inside buildings and outside. The work includes coordinating with other contractors and managing design elements. This is a two-stage process: first, contractors are shortlisted via a PSQ assessment, then invited to submit detailed tender bids.
What the buyer wants
• Produce, supply, and install wayfinding signage throughout the ROG site (internal and external signs) • Develop and deliver a 'Contractor Design Portion' (specific design elements you will create) • Coordinate with other contractors (OPOE and OPITU Setworks Principal Contractors) during all phases of work, both offsite and onsite • Liaise with multiple other client-direct work packages to ensure your signage fits the wider project
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small independent signage makers will struggle unless they have: significant experience managing site coordination with multiple contractors, a strong track record of large installation projects (this is a £220,000 contract suggesting substantial scope), and the capacity to carry design responsibility. First-time bidders or one-person operations will likely be screened out at the PSQ stage.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
