Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Museum has initiated a tender for a Professional Services Consultants Framework in the construction sector, aimed at sourcing consultants for construction and refurbishment projects from 2021 to 2025. The procurement process is currently categorised as complete, and it utilised a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure. The project will be executed in London, within the South East of England, and key areas of focus include project management, quantity surveying, mechanical, electrical, public health and fire engineering, architecture, and civil engineering across five distinct lots. This framework aims to streamline the previous multi-lot frameworks into one holistic approach to ensure effective decision-making regarding the Museum's infrastructure needs.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in various aspects of the construction and consultancy sectors, particularly those specialising in project management, engineering, and architectural services. Companies that can demonstrate capability in managing diverse types of projects—from strategic studies to complex refurbishments—are well-suited to compete. With an estimated spend across the lots ranging from £1.5 million up to £15.5 million, firms of all sizes, from large-scale organisations to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), can potentially benefit and foster growth through collaboration with a prestigious institution like the British Museum.

Notice Title

Professional Services Consultants Framework (Construction)

Notice Description

The British Museum is looking to update and replace an expired consultancy framework for the delivery of construction and renewal / refurbishment projects, as well as strategic and technical studies which are used by the Museum in decision making on the scope, scale and investment priorities for the estate. The need to re-establish a procurement route for these services has been used as an opportunity to review requirements and rationalise the former wide-ranging suite of six multi-lot frameworks into a single more streamlined framework based on the following 5 lots: 1.Lot 1 Project Management 2.Lot 2 Quantity Surveying 3.Lot 3 Mechanical, Electrical, Public Health and Fire Engineering 4.Lot 4 Architecture and Interior Design 5.Lot 5 Structural and Civil Engineering In addition to the services delivered in the five core Lots, there will be non-core and specialist duties (see individual Lot details below).
