Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport required international transportation and installation services for artwork. The work is classified as transport services and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with the department’s premises at 100 Parliament Street, London. The requirement is for a specialist supplier able to coordinate the handling, movement and installation of artwork rather than general goods transport. The selected provider, Crozier Fine Arts, is based at Magna Park North, Lutterworth, Leicestershire. This opportunity is relevant to fine-art logistics companies, specialist art handlers, transport operators with installation capability and businesses experienced in moving valuable or sensitive cultural assets for public-sector clients.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure, as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 11 June 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 24 July 2026 to Crozier Fine Arts, with an awarded value of £300,000. The procurement’s stated value was £100,000. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2027. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is the buyer, and Crozier Fine Arts is the active supplier. The process is complete. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for specialist artwork transport and installation, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport would need reliable fine-art logistics capability, including secure handling, transport planning and installation at government premises. Experience of moving valuable, fragile or culturally significant works would be important, alongside the operational capacity to manage an end-to-end service rather than transport alone. Businesses able to provide trained handling and installation teams, dependable logistics controls and coordinated delivery for public-sector environments would be well placed. The award to Crozier Fine Arts, identified as an SME, also shows that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller provider.
