Summary of the contracting process

The Victoria and Albert Museum has completed a procurement process to appoint a contractor for the restoration of the mosaic floor in their new fashion gallery (Gallery 40) located at South Kensington, London. The procurement process was executed as a limited competition below the threshold, wherein only certain suppliers were invited to tender. This award stage has been finalised with the contract commencing on 24th June 2026 and scheduled to conclude on 20th November 2026. The awarded contract is valued at £195,480 (exclusive of VAT). The procurement pertains to the 'works' industry category, specifically classified under museum construction work, with main delivery situated in the UK's UKI3 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in heritage restoration, particularly those with expertise in mosaic and historic floor restoration. Companies under the small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) category, like The Mosaic Restoration Company Limited, which successfully secured the contract, are well-suited for such specialised projects. Collaborations with consultants such as Lockerdell Consulting Limited and Greenway Associates Limited, involved in tender documentation and evaluation, underscore the potential for associated businesses in consulting and architectural services to engage and expand their portfolios through similar future projects.
