Summary of the contracting process

The Science Museum Group has successfully completed the procurement process for a Security Consultancy Framework, aimed at appointing a single provider to deliver security expertise across various projects and queries within the group. The framework, which falls under the services category, has been awarded to Risk To Resolution Ltd and is valued at £600,000 gross with a net amount of £500,000. The process utilised an open procedure and is now in the contract award stage, with documents indicating it was signed on 18 February 2026. The framework will run for an initial two-year period, with an option to extend for a further two years, concluding by February 2030. Mandatory site visit requirements were part of the tender prerequisites, with key events in the tender process occurring in London and York, UK, focusing on security services.

This framework presents significant business opportunities for firms specialising in security services. The appointment of a single provider allows for strategic alignment with SMG’s varying security demands, making this an ideal opportunity for businesses with robust capabilities in security consultancy. The open competition attracted a significant number of bids, particularly from SMEs, illustrating the competitive nature and demand in the security consultancy industry. For businesses looking to expand their footprint within the central government public authority domain, involvement in such frameworks can foster growth, establish expertise, and promote long-term partnerships with prominent organisations like the Science Museum Group.

Notice Title

Security Consultancy Framework

Notice Description

The Science Museum Group would like to appoint a framework with one provider that will provide SMG with security expertise in response to specific project requirements, security best practice queries as well as ad hoc requests from all Departments across the Group. Site visits will be held on Monday 22nd September at the Science Museum and Wednesday 24th September at the National Railway Museum. Please note, before completing your tender response, a mandatory site visit to the Science Museum in London or the National Railway Museum in York is required. Any respondents who have not visited, will not be considered. Potential bidders should book the site visits by 5pm on Thursday 18th September. To note: in March 2026 SMG will be completing the procurement of the Security officer provision. This process is considered to be in conflict with the above requirement and therefore should the successful provider from this framework wishes to bid for the security officer provision and were successful they would need to withdraw from the framework and a new tender would be completed. Please refer to the tender documents for further details.
