Summary of the contracting process

The Victoria and Albert Museum, located in London, is currently in the tender stage for the "Museum Standard Frames Framework." This procurement seeks to establish a non-exclusive framework agreement for the supply of museum standard frames, primarily classified under the goods category of picture frames. The tender period is set to close on 1st April 2020, with the contract expected to commence on 1st May 2020 and run until 30th April 2023. This process is conducted through an open procurement method, allowing participation from a wide range of suppliers.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in manufacturing or supplying picture frames, particularly those with experience in meeting museum standards. Suppliers capable of delivering high-quality framing products tailored to museum specifications will find a competitive advantage. As the procurement process is designed to be inclusive, it encourages SMEs to engage and leverage their expertise within the museum sector, potentially leading to further contracts and business growth in a niche market.
