Summary of the contracting process

The National Maritime Museum is procuring works to upgrade its access control system. The requirement is for a secure, scalable system to manage and monitor authorised access across the museum estate. It includes centralised administration, real-time monitoring, audit reporting and integration with existing security systems. The solution is intended to support future expansion, strengthen site security, improve operational efficiency and help the museum comply with relevant standards and regulations. This is an engineering works opportunity for security installations, delivered across the National Maritime Museum estate in London. Suppliers should be able to provide both the access control installation and the associated system integration needed to connect with existing security arrangements.

The procurement has reached tender: the National Maritime Museum invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot requirement. Enquiries were due by 7 August 2026 at 17:00, and tender submissions were due electronically by 17 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 31 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £200,000 excluding VAT, or £240,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on technical quality at 60%, price at 30% and social value at 10%. Electronic submission is allowed. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the procurement is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits security installation contractors and systems integrators able to design, install and support secure access control across an operational museum estate. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate experience of authorised-access management, central administration, real-time monitoring, audit reporting and integration with existing security systems. The requirement calls for a solution that can scale as the estate develops, so suppliers should have the technical capability and delivery capacity to support future expansion as well as the initial works. Businesses should also be able to address relevant security standards and regulatory compliance, provide a reliable installation, and explain how their technical approach and social value contribution will be delivered.
