    Brief

    The Old General Herbarium (OGH) Beta Project is a refurbishment and fit-out of a gallery section to restore public display for the first time since 1948. A temporary pop-up display will open in September 2026. The Museum is seeking a Principal Contractor to manage the refurbishment and fit-out works. To participate, all tenderers must complete and sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) available in the SQ stage document library and return it to the Museum for countersignature. Once the NDA is executed by both parties, tenderers will be added to the Tenderbox stage where full tender documents will be available from 30 April 2026. This is a competitive tender exercise.
