What Science Museum Group Bids Are Like
Public body procurement varies in style but typically follows UK procurement regulations with quality-weighted scoring, social value requirements, and a structured evaluation framework.
Evaluation Criteria You'll Face
- Quality of approach
- Experience delivering similar work
- Social value
- Methodology and delivery plan
- Price and value for money
Quality typically weighs 60–80% with price at 20–40%. Bids that score well are specific, evidence-based, and quantified. Generic capability statements rarely win.

- Read the specification and evaluation criteria carefully — see our guide to writing a winning UK government bid
