UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Science Museum Group procured works to replace one goods lift serving the West Hall at the Science Museum in London. The requirement covers the supply and installation of a replacement lift, including associated lift installation and lift-and-escalator installation work. The procurement is categorised as works and concerns goods lifts (CPV 42416120), lifts (CPV 42416100) and installation work. It was a single requirement rather than a multi-site programme, with delivery at the Science Museum premises, London SW7 2DD. The buyer is a central government public authority. This opportunity is therefore relevant to lift manufacturers, specialist lift replacement contractors and installation firms able to deliver a goods-lift project within an occupied public museum site.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open, below-threshold competition. It had one lot. The tender deadline was 12 June 2026 at 17:00, and the enquiry deadline was 5 June 2026 at 17:00. The estimated value was £500,000 excluding VAT and £600,000 including VAT. Arrow Lift Engineers Ltd was awarded the contract on 3 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £526,100 excluding VAT and £631,320 including VAT. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 3 July 2026 to 2 July 2027 under the award, while the signed contract period runs from 27 August 2026 to 21 June 2027. Evaluation was based on the tender documents.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Science Museum Group for specialist goods-lift replacement and installation work in London. A credible future supplier would need to manage the full delivery of a lift replacement, combining equipment supply with installation and associated lift works rather than offering general construction alone. Relevant capability includes designing or supplying goods-lift solutions, removing or replacing existing equipment, coordinating installation safely within an operating museum, and managing commissioning and handover. Firms of a scale comparable to the appointed SME may be well placed where they can evidence successful public-sector or similarly complex lift projects, reliable project management and the technical workforce needed to complete installation works. The buyer’s use of an open competition indicates that clear, document-led tender responses are important.
