Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Museum of Two Halves - Construction Prolongation Design Team Professional Services" led by Wrexham County Borough Council is primarily oriented towards construction and design services linked to the redevelopment of Wrexham Museum. The procurement covers the period from July 2025 to March 2026, with a direct award method administered under the UK Public Procurement Guidelines Act 2023/54. The contract price has been amended several times to address additional design work required due to prolonged build programmes, with the most recent amendment dated 31st March 2026. This consultancy service is expected to foster architectural and design excellence as the region incorporates a new Football Museum for Wales, thus falling within the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services category. Located in Wrexham, UK, the project adheres to Welsh devolved regulations and GPA standards. The procurement status is in the contract amendment stage, evidencing the dynamic adjustment of project scopes and deadlines.

The project presents significant opportunities for businesses in architectural and engineering disciplines, especially those experienced in extended build programmes and museum design. Haley Sharpe Design Limited, an SME based in Leicester, has been actively engaged as the supplier, highlighting the project's suitability for small and medium-sized firms. With provisions for contract extensions and renewal if mutually agreed, there is potential for long-term partnerships in developing iconic cultural infrastructure. This procurement encourages businesses specialising in creative design, structural engineering, and project management to contribute innovative solutions, bolstering regional heritage tourism and potentially expanding their portfolio within the public sector. Businesses should consider strategic collaboration with local authorities, expanding their professional network and market influence in the public procurement landscape.
