The V&A is seeking exhibition fit out contractors to join our Temporary Exhibition Build Contractors Approved List. We have a programme of changing temporary exhibitions and displays across our sites. Complementing our permanent collection, they cover a broad range of subjects from design and fashion to photography and architecture. Major exhibitions feature multiple rooms of objects and installations. The works may be required at V&A South Kensington on Cromwell Road, Young V&A in Bethnal Green, or V&A East Museum in Stratford (due to open Spring 2026). Construction budgets range from approximately £100,000 to £1,000,000 per project depending on the size and complexity of the exhibition in question. The upper end of this range will often include AV hardware, in addition to setworks, showcases, graphic production, lighting, electrics and specific object mounts where they are integral to the build. When the V&A has a requirement that falls under the scope of this approved list, we select contractors from the list. We envisage that the approved list will run for 4 years but we may wish to refresh it sooner. Whilst we are refreshing the approved list formally at this point in time, interested contractors can email their interest to procurement@vam.ac.uk at any time to apply to be considered for the list and for details of how to submit a PQQ. If a contractor makes an application which is not successful, they may not reapply for a minimum of one year. To be considered to be appointed onto our Temporary Exhibition Build Contractors Approved List, you must submit a completed Pre-Qualification Questionnaire. Please log on to Delta using the link below for the full pack. Please note that existing contractors on our Temporary Exhibition Build Contractors Approved List remain approved and need not apply.
