Summary of the contracting process

Pembrokeshire County Council procured the creation of a new visitor engagement hub and gift-shop retail area at Scolton Manor Park near Haverfordwest. The requirement combines visitor-experience design, digital interpretation and the development and interpretation of the cellar and other museum rooms. It includes specialist design, graphic design, project and cost preparation, modelling, design consultancy, built-in furniture installation, research and development, cultural services, and construction work associated with leisure, cultural and museum facilities. The main category is services, with associated goods. The work is for the council’s museum and visitor offer at Scolton Manor in Pembrokeshire, serving visitors through improved retail, interpretation and engagement facilities.

This open procedure has been awarded following five final-stage bids, all from SMEs. Vistaeste Limited was selected on 19 August 2026 for the single lot, at £212,655 excluding VAT (£255,186 gross). The original estimated value was £212,750 excluding VAT (£255,300 gross). The tender deadline was 3 August 2026 at 2pm; enquiries closed on 28 July 2026 at noon. The award has a standstill period ending 28 August 2026, with signature scheduled by 1 September 2026. The awarded contract period is 3 September 2026 to 31 March 2028, while the tendered delivery period was 21 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. Evaluation weighted quality at 90%—approach to delivering the brief 60% and project team 30%—and price at 10%.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Pembrokeshire County Council for suppliers able to combine cultural-sector interpretation with visitor-experience, retail, exhibition and built-environment delivery. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show a coherent approach to delivering a complex museum and visitor-engagement brief, supported by a suitably skilled project team. Relevant capability spans digital and graphic interpretation, specialist design, design modelling, cost and project preparation, built-in furniture, research and development, and construction coordination for cultural facilities. The successful market profile is multidisciplinary rather than limited to one design service. SMEs were considered suitable, and five SMEs submitted final-stage bids, indicating that smaller firms can compete where they can assemble the required range of expertise and demonstrate strong delivery planning.
