UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Outbound return costs via sea shipment", managed by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, is in the award stage as of 19th November 2025. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically for transport services excluding waste transport, with a focus on fine art transportation via ocean shipping from Bali to London for the Curve Spring 2025 exhibition. The procurement method used was limited competition, below threshold, with the contract signed on 30th October 2024, active from 1st November 2024 to 30th September 2025. Located in the City of London, the contracting authority ensures adherence to the legal frameworks as outlined in UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses specialising in logistics and transport services to engage with a high-profile project related to art exhibitions. Companies with experience in managing delicate shipments and who have the logistical frameworks in place to ensure timely and secure delivery of fine art pieces would be well-suited to this contract. Although the contract is already awarded to Momart, a large supplier based in London, similar future opportunities can provide avenues for small to medium enterprises in the logistics sector to explore partnerships and expand their market presence in art transport. Businesses can benefit from engaging with public authorities to create a reputation in handling specialised shipping needs.
