Summary of the contracting process

The National Maritime Museum, as part of Royal Museums Greenwich, is procuring mechanical and electrical facilities management services across its estate in London. The requirement covers planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance, statutory inspections and testing, compliance management, emergency response, minor works and associated engineering support. Systems include heating, ventilation and air conditioning, electrical distribution, lighting, controls, fire systems, water systems, lifts, specialist engineering systems and related infrastructure. The appointed service provider must support statutory compliance and business continuity while protecting nationally significant heritage assets. This is a building-services maintenance and engineering opportunity for firms able to manage a broad, multi-discipline estate rather than a single specialist installation.

The procurement is complete following an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, with one lot. Vertex Services Group Limited was selected on 22 July 2026 for £8.5 million excluding VAT (£10.2 million including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with two optional two-year extensions; the stated maximum extent is 30 November 2033. The tender deadline was 24 February 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry deadline was 10 February 2026. Evaluation weighted technical quality and social value at 70%, and price at 30%. Four bids were received, with one reaching the final stage. The award standstill ends on 31 July 2026, with signature scheduled for 1 September 2026.

This opportunity indicates substantial, long-term demand from a heritage museum estate for integrated mechanical, electrical and public-health building-services management. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need credible capability across planned and reactive maintenance, statutory inspection and testing, compliance management, emergency response, minor works and engineering support. Experience with HVAC, electrical distribution, lighting controls, fire and water systems, lifts and specialist engineering infrastructure would be relevant. They would also need to demonstrate reliable business-continuity arrangements and an understanding of the risks involved in maintaining nationally significant heritage assets. The evaluation shows that technical delivery and social value carry more weight than price, and the requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.
