What the notice says

This is an exciting opportunity for an AV Hardware Integrator to help us realise our vision for new galleries at the Natural History Museum. We are looking for an experienced AV Hardware Integrator to join our Exhibition Fit Out team to deliver beautiful and inspiring new galleries within our Grade I listed building. We are looking for consultants with experience in AV Hardware Integration, who can work with our Design and Build teams across four major galleries to deliver a robust and consistent AV Hardware approach for our exhibitions, interactives and gallery fit out lighting. All approaches for NHM150 galleries should be grounded in sustainability and accessibility. These galleries form part of Phase 2 of the NHM150 Programme, which focuses on the transformation of the Western Galleries, delivering the base build refurbishment and complete gallery fit-out of four major public galleries. This tender relates to the fit-out only but includes coordination with the base build refurbishment.
