Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Air Force Museum, located in London, UK, has completed a procurement process for the fitting out of its armoury with new racking systems to securely store small arms, components, and spare parts. This process, titled "Armoury Racking," falls under the works category, specifically targeting museum construction work and racking installation. The procurement was conducted through a limited method under UK legislation 2023/54, considering a below-threshold, limited competition approach. The award, now active, was finalised on 12th June 2026, with the contract period running until 31st December 2026. This project marked its completion with an active contract valued at GBP 42,036 net (GBP 50,443 gross).

This tender presents growth potential for businesses specialising in storage solutions, particularly those capable of delivering high-security racking and storage installations. Such an opportunity offers prime prospects for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as evidenced by the awardee, Bruynzeel Storage Systems Limited, an SME based in Burgess Hill, UK. Suppliers experienced in the museum construction and high-security storage sectors should look to engage in similar opportunities to expand their market presence and reinforce their credentials in delivering tailored and secure solutions for critical infrastructure projects.
