UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Science Museum Group, a central government public authority based in London, is currently in the tender stage for the "Railway Museum Great Hall Road Repairs QS Service." This procurement process involves quantity surveying and contract administration services to address road repairs within the National Railway Museum's Great Hall in York. The services are related to the structural failings of the rail roads surrounding a turntable, with a focus on roads 3, 4, 5, 7, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, and 23. The procurement is conducted through an open below-threshold competition, with electronic submissions allowed, and the tender period remains open until the deadline on 15th May 2026. The contract is valued at £60,000, with an allotted gross amount of £72,000, and spans from 8th June 2026 to 7th June 2028.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the services sector, particularly those specialising in quantity surveying and contract administration, to expand their portfolios and establish partnerships with prestigious cultural institutions. Companies with expertise in railway infrastructure projects, structural engineering, and compliance with quality standards are ideally positioned to compete. Given the procurement methods that prioritise quality over price (70% quality, 30% price split), firms that demonstrate a strong track record in delivering high-quality services alongside cost-effectiveness stand to benefit. The project presents a chance to contribute to the maintenance and enhancement of a vital part of the UK's heritage, working directly with the renowned Science Museum Group.
