Summary of the contracting process

The London Museum has successfully completed the procurement process for its cleaning, waste, and portering services project. The contract was awarded on 14th November 2025, with work set to begin on 2nd February 2026. The total contract value is approximately £5,438,444.16 GBP. The procurement followed a selective competitive flexible procedure and involved parties like TOTAL SUPPORT SERVICES LIMITED, among others. The aim is to provide sustainable services across the Museum's estate, which includes locales in the City of London, Docklands, and Hackney, with future expansions at the new Smithfield site anticipated in 2026. This procurement, under the broad industry category of services, emphasizes a commitment to high standards and innovation in service delivery. The procurement process was initiated earlier with a tender phase that had its deadline on 25th July 2025, followed by an active selection phase, thus culminating in the award stage.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale professional cleaning companies experienced in managing services across multiple sites. The extended duration of the contract, with possible renewals through February 2032, enables stability and long-term planning for the selected business. Additionally, the requirement for the provision of flexible and innovative service solutions, responsive to the evolving needs of an expanding museum estate, aligns well with firms capable of adapting to complex or changing environments. Companies with a robust capacity for managing both standard service requirements and additional ad-hoc services for events can leverage this opportunity to enhance their portfolios and reputation within the public sector.
