Summary of the contracting process

Tate, a prestigious public authority within central government, is leading a procurement process under the tender stage to establish a framework for Exhibition Build services at the Natalie Bell Building, part of Tate Modern in London. This opportunity seeks to appoint a contractor to manage construction services for four upcoming temporary exhibitions, including those featuring artists like Tracey Emin and Frida Kahlo. The tender operates under an open procurement method suitable for below-threshold competition, invites proposals electronically, and is accompanied by a guided process accessible via MarketDojo. Noteworthy dates include the enquiry period concluding on 7 November 2025, followed by the tender submission deadline on 14 November 2025. The contract, valued at £600,000 gross, is anticipated to run from December 2025 through June 2027.

This significant tender provides an excellent opportunity for construction firms specialising in cultural, leisure, and exhibition spaces to expand their portfolio and gain prestige through association with Tate. Businesses with proven experience in creative exhibition setups, strong sustainability frameworks, and resource management are ideally poised to compete. The procurement framework allows for continued collaboration beyond the initial award, encouraging long-term business development and the potential for future contracts, thereby making it an attractive proposition for well-established contractors desiring to enhance their presence in the cultural sector.
