Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed a procurement process titled "PAN3287 - LMAG Voices of Leicester Exhibition Design and Fit Out". This project, which falls under the museum-exhibition services industry category, focuses on the redesign and fitting of multiple galleries at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery (LMAG) as part of the Voices of Leicester project. The contract was awarded using an open competitive procedure. The procurement aimed to transform the museum into a modern visitor attraction, supported by funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The location of the project is the Leicester region (UKF21), and the contract period runs from 22 September 2025 to 21 August 2029 with a possible extension period of three months.

This tender provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for firms specialising in museum exhibition design and fit-out services. The project is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative, high-quality design solutions within the stipulated contract period. The successful supplier for the project is Mather & Co Ltd, an SME based in Cheshire, indicating the council's openness to collaborate with capable small and medium-sized firms. Businesses with expertise in cultural and heritage projects and those capable of delivering within a flexible and open competition framework would have a competitive edge in such tenders.

Notice Title

PAN3287 - LMAG Voices of Leicester Exhibition Design and Fit Out

Notice Description

Leicester City Council invites tenders from suitably qualified Suppliers for the exhibition design and fit out of multiple galleries at LMAG is an integral part of the Voices of Leicester project (funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund). The Voices of Leicester project represents the final stage in the master plan for LMAG, enabling the museum to be transformed into a modern and exciting visitor attraction for the people of Leicester.

Planning Information

Leicester City Council wishes to inform the market of its forthcoming procurement for LMAG Voices of Leicester Exhibition Design and Fit Out within the city of Leicester. We have recently undertaken a very similar procurement (PAN3054) - the design and fit out of art galleries at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery. This was a very successful tender process which resulted in a good appointment. It reassured us that suppliers are comfortable with a two-stage contract, and that there is a good level of interest in this type of opportunity therefore we have not undertaken any preliminary market engagement for this tender. No input was sought and none was received from any Suppliers with regard to the specification within the forthcoming Tender.
