Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process conducted by the Natural History Museum in London, identified under the OCID ocds-h6vhtk-055241, focuses on the "Gallery 33 Refurbishment: Building Services Consultancy". This initiative falls under the industry category of services, specifically consultancy services related to mechanical and electrical engineering, as well as acoustics. The procurement stage is currently in the award phase, with key updates as of 15 October 2025. The procurement method employed was limited competition, targeting suppliers below the financial threshold. The awarded contract, valued at £72,000 gross, was signed with Atelier Ten London as the chosen supplier. The contract commenced on 28 September 2025 and is set to conclude on 29 September 2028. Located in the United Kingdom, this procurement underlines a strategic opportunity for providers in the service design and engineering sectors.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in mechanical and electrical design and consultancy services. The project includes mechanical design services, electrical design services, lighting service, and acoustic advice, presenting a comprehensive scope for specialised firms. With nine final-stage bids received, of which eight were from SMEs, there is clear demand and competitiveness in this domain. Suppliers with capabilities in CPV-coded services, such as sound insulation, room acoustics consultancy, and engineering design services for buildings, could find significant growth potential by competing for similar tenders. Organisations focusing on sustainability consultancy services, particularly those adept in refurbishment projects, are also well-suited to leverage such procurement opportunities.
