Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London, seeking tenders for a review of the National Art Library. This project was classified under business and management consultancy services. The procurement method was open, but the process has been confirmed as concluded with no contract awarded, as it was cancelled prior to the end date of the tender period on 7th May 2021. The intended contract period was set from 10th May 2021 to 30th November 2021. The library is located in Kensington, London.

This tender represented an opportunity primarily for large firms and organisations specialising in library service provision and consultancy, particularly those with experience in transforming public services. The cancellation of the tender may present alternative opportunities for businesses that can offer innovative solutions to the challenges faced by the V&A, especially in the context of its recent financial difficulties prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Businesses well-suited to compete would typically include management consultants and specialised library service providers experienced in cultural institutions.

Notice Title

GB-London: V&A National Art Library Review

Notice Description

The National Art Library (NAL) is the UK's largest, most significant and accessible dedicated collection of publications relating to art and design. It is one of the top four art libraries in the world. In March 2020, the NAL closed its doors to the public due to the first UK lockdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The library has remained closed since, offering a limited service for internal and external users. The wider context of the V&A is one of significant financial challenge - the repeated forced closure of the museum has significantly impacted the V&A's business model and operating capability. The V&A sought tenders from consultants with demonstrable and successful experience of specialist library service provision and transformation to carry out a review of the National Art Library. PLEASE NOTE: This is not an advertisement of a new opportunity but a notice to confirm that the procurement process has been concluded Additional information: Contract not awarded, this tender process is cancelled
