Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council is leading a public procurement process titled "Museum of Two Halves - Construction Prolongation Design Team Professional Services." The procurement process is in the contract amendment stage as of 2nd June 2026. This initiative falls under the industry category of architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, with work located in Wrexham, United Kingdom. The procurement method used is Direct Award, customised to manage additional work for the design team during an extended build programme. The amendment involves adjustments to the contract price to cover updates to museum signage documentation required for planning purposes, with the contract currently valued at approximately GBP 172,060.05 gross.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in architectural and engineering services to contribute to a high-profile cultural project in Wrexham, namely the redevelopment of the Wrexham Museum and the incorporation of a new Football Museum for Wales. Companies with experience in similar projects and those with capabilities for managing long-term construction projects would be well-suited to participate in this process. SMEs like Haley Sharpe Design Limited, currently engaged as the lead designer, exemplify the type of companies that could benefit from engaging in such government-led redevelopment initiatives.
