UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of Doncaster Council has awarded a contract for conservation services, specifically titled "Graham Key Conservation". This procurement relates to cleaning objects and documents as well as advising on collections care and conservation issues for Heritage Doncaster. The procurement falls under the "services" category, with a CPV classification of "Preservation services of exhibits and specimens". The contract was awarded on 29th May 2026 and will commence on the same date with its completion expected by 31st March 2027. However, there is potential for renewal until 31st March 2031. Located in Doncaster, the procurement was conducted through the direct method, a below-threshold process without competition.

The awarded contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the conservation and heritage sectors, particularly those with expertise in preservation services. As the procurement did not go through a competitive tendering process, it suggests potential openings for small and medium enterprises, like the awarded supplier GRAHAM KEY: CONSERVATION & RESTORATION, a Doncaster-based SME. The focus on heritage and cultural conservation will be of interest to businesses that specialise in the care of historical artefacts and documents, offering both immediate service provision and the prospect of long-term partnership opportunities through potential contract renewals.
