Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal Armouries Museum procured the supply and installation of a replacement backup generator, including removal of the existing generator. This is a goods-led project involving specialist generator equipment and associated installation and removal works. The requirement was for the museum’s premises on Armouries Drive in Leeds, England. The procurement is classified as generator units and is aimed at maintaining backup power provision for the site. It may therefore be relevant to generator manufacturers, electrical engineering businesses, industrial equipment suppliers and contractors able to manage both equipment replacement and site installation. The requirement combines supply, removal of the existing unit and installation of the replacement, rather than the provision of an ongoing general facilities management service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Royal Armouries Museum used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 26 May 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded on 26 May 2026 to Livingstone Building Services Limited. The awarded value was £206,224.01 excluding VAT, stated as £247,468.81 including VAT. The contract period ran from 8 June 2026 to 30 June 2026. The award was active and the tender status was complete. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation details recorded for the procurement do not provide a separate quality or price weighting, so the available outcome is the framework call-off award to the named supplier.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Royal Armouries Museum for a complete backup-generator replacement rather than a simple equipment purchase. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to source or manufacture suitable generator units, remove an existing installation safely and complete the replacement installation at an operational museum site. Relevant capability would include electrical and mechanical installation, isolation and removal planning, lifting or logistics arrangements, commissioning and compliance documentation. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the work can be delivered by an appropriately capable specialist business without requiring a large corporate structure. Firms combining generator expertise with building-services delivery would be well placed to compete when this buyer next requires comparable replacement work.
