Summary of the contracting process

The Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) has concluded the procurement process titled "HRP Dress Showcases for Exhibition at Banqueting House, Whitehall," focusing on modular display solutions for exhibitions. This contract falls under the industry category of exhibition stands and museum services, with a location in Greater London, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently at the award level, with contracts slated to run from 14th July 2026 to 29th December 2028. The open procedure method was utilized for the procurement, aiming to provide demountable showcases for an exhibition initially planned for 2027 but postponed to 2028. The final contract value agreed upon is £275,000, with a gross amount of £330,000, awarded to Meyvaert NV, a Belgian supplier specialized in exhibition services.

This procurement opportunity can significantly boost businesses within the display and museum services industry by presenting a high-profile platform for showcasing their flexibility and innovation in creating modular exhibition solutions. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) with experience in constructing and installing demountable display systems, particularly those capable of meeting the UK Government Indemnity Scheme requirements, are well-suited for such tenders. The opportunity allows them to collaborate with a prominent heritage institution like the Historic Royal Palaces, gaining valuable exposure and experience in working within historic environments. The possibility of extending the contract beyond its initial term, due to potential changes in the exhibition timeline, presents further opportunities for growth and engagement with cultural projects of this nature.

Notice Title

HRP Dress Showcases for Exhibition at Banqueting House, Whitehall

Notice Description

HRP are seeking a flexible, modular, sustainable demountable solution for our dress showcases at the Banqueting House. These showcases will be used for an exhibition opening in 2028 and will then be de-rigged and re-used and re-configured for future exhibitions. HRP requires a suite of modular demountable dress cases that can fit together to flex up or down on size depending on configuration. Minimum footprint 900mm x 900mm and minimum height 2200mm. We would ideally like some 1500 x 1500 modules with seamless pane of glass, however, we would consider using 4 x 900 x 900 modules as an alternative to this. LED lighting is required for both top & bottom of cases. The use of display cases allows HRP to enable the public to access objects that might otherwise be too fragile or precious to exhibit. The cases are required to provide both physical and environmental protection for the objects and to display them beautifully for visitors.
