Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow Life (Culture & Sport Glasgow) intends to appoint a multidisciplinary Museum Design and Delivery Team to support the redevelopment of the People’s Palace and Winter Garden on Glasgow Green in Glasgow. The requirement is for museum-exhibition services, with architectural and related services also included. The appointed team would support the redevelopment of these cultural and visitor attractions, bringing together the design and delivery disciplines needed for the project. The buying organisation is Glasgow Life, a culture and sport body serving Glasgow and acting as a central purchasing body. The work is based in Glasgow, including the People’s Palace and Winter Garden site on Glasgow Green. The requirement is structured as one planned package covering the full Museum Design and Delivery Team service.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Glasgow Life has stated an intention to procure, and a formal procurement process will follow. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 15 September 2026. This is an information-only planning notice rather than an invitation to tender, so suppliers are not being asked to submit bids at this stage. The expected requirement uses one planned lot and is for services. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published information identifies museum-exhibition services as the main category and architectural and related services as an additional category. Glasgow Life has not set out a contract value, budget, contract duration, tender procedure or evaluation basis in this planning announcement.

The requirement should suit a multidisciplinary consultancy or consortium able to combine museum-exhibition services with architectural and related design services, and to support delivery as well as design. It is relevant to firms working on museum redevelopment, visitor attractions, cultural venues, exhibition environments or related public-facing heritage projects. Suppliers with experience coordinating several design and delivery disciplines around an occupied or significant cultural site may be well placed to prepare, although the planning announcement does not yet define the final team structure or participation requirements. The project’s focus on the People’s Palace and Winter Garden makes it particularly relevant to businesses that can contribute to the renewal of museum and visitor facilities in Glasgow. This is a preparation opportunity rather than a bid opportunity now.
