Summary of the contracting process

The Science Museum Group in London has completed a public procurement process titled "SMG Fire Engineering Framework." This initiative aims to engage three qualified organisations to provide expert fire engineering services and address fire safety and legislation queries across the Group's projects. The procurement, conducted via an open procedure, culminated in awarding contracts to Maze Fire Consulting, OFR Consultants, and Ove Arup & Partners Limited. This framework agreement, effective from 19 December 2025, spans three years with a possible one-year extension and is based in London with a focus on the "Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services" industry category.
