Summary of the contracting process

National Museums Liverpool procured technical tender specification preparation for an upcoming HVM project. The work is a professional engineering consultancy service: preparing the technical specification that will support tendering for the project. Delivery is in the North West of England. The buying organisation is National Museums Liverpool, based in Liverpool. This requirement concerns the preparation of procurement specifications, rather than the delivery of the HVM project itself.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Triple J Solutions. The award date was 13 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £31,800. The contract runs from 17 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was procured through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The published information identifies technical tender specification preparation as the requirement; it does not set out further evaluation criteria. The procurement was classified as a services contract and was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from National Museums Liverpool for specialist engineering consultancy to prepare technical tender specifications for an HVM project. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to show they can translate project needs into clear, technically robust specifications that can support a subsequent tender. Credibility is likely to depend on relevant engineering and construction consultancy experience, sound technical drafting, and the capacity to deliver specification work within a defined project timetable. The selected supplier was identified as an SME, indicating that this scale of specialist assignment can be served by a smaller business. The route used was a call-off from a framework, so framework appointment and the ability to respond to a selective call-off would be relevant capabilities for suppliers targeting this buyer’s comparable requirement.
