The Natural History Museum in London is conducting a procurement process to establish a framework for Quantity Surveyor, Contract Administrator, and Principal Designer services across its sites in South Kensington, Tring, and Wandsworth. This framework includes projects involving building conservation, refurbishment, infrastructure upgrades, and more. The procurement falls under the services category and uses a CPV classification of Miscellaneous business and business-related services. The process is currently in the award stage, and the procurement method is an open procedure. Key contracts were signed on 11th June 2025, and the framework has a potential total duration of up to five years, initially set for three years with extensions possible.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those operating in the construction, design, and project management sectors within the UK. Companies with experience in large-scale projects and a focus on quality and cost-effectiveness are well-suited to compete. The involvement of SMEs as suppliers indicates potential for smaller businesses to engage with high-profile public sector projects, reinforcing their market standing while contributing valuable services to improve cultural and educational facilities at renowned locations like the Natural History Museum. Aspiring bidders should note the importance of demonstrating both quality and social value alongside competitive pricing.
