Summary of the contracting process

National Museums Liverpool procured enabling construction works for the ISM MM project. The requirement is classified as construction work and is to be delivered in the North West of England, with the buyer based at World Museum in Liverpool. The named organisation responsible for the procurement and intended use of the works is National Museums Liverpool. The opportunity is relevant to contractors providing construction and enabling works, particularly those able to work on projects for a major museum organisation in the North West. It is also relevant to businesses considering supply-chain or subcontracting relationships around this type of public-sector construction requirement. The procurement is categorised as works rather than goods or general services, so suppliers should assess their fit against construction delivery, site-based working and the project’s specific enabling-works requirements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. National Museums Liverpool selected Overbury Plc on 28 February 2026. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than as an open tender. The original tender submission deadline was 28 February 2026. The awarded value is £5,999,727. The contract period runs from 13 May 2026 to 5 February 2027. The tender was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The tender’s stated procurement category was works, with construction work as its classification. The award is active and the overall tender status is complete. The award and contract relate to the same enabling construction requirement in the North West.

This procurement demonstrates a substantial, time-limited demand from National Museums Liverpool for enabling construction works delivered through a framework call-off. A future competitor would need to be credible in public-sector construction, understand how to secure work through the relevant framework route, and have the operational capacity to deliver a sizeable museum-related works package within a defined programme. Overbury Plc, a large construction supplier, was selected, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with the scale and delivery capability needed for this requirement. Smaller firms are also relevant because the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs. Businesses should therefore consider how their construction record, project management, site delivery capability and role within a main-contractor or specialist supply chain would demonstrate a strong fit for this buyer’s enabling-works requirements.
