UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured museum mount services for Lincoln Museum. The requirement supports the museum’s displays, which present Lincolnshire’s archaeological history from the Stone Age to the end of the 17th century, alongside geological and palaeontological collections. The museum’s holdings include antiquarian and casual finds, as well as material from commercial and research archaeological investigations across the county. The work is delivered for Lincoln Museum in Lincolnshire. It sits within the museum-exhibition services category and is relevant to businesses providing mounts and related display support for archaeological, geological, palaeontological and other museum objects. The buying organisation is Lincolnshire County Council, a public authority responsible for the county-wide museum service and its nationally and internationally significant archaeological collection.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Lincolnshire County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, COLIN JOHN LINDLEY OBJECT & ARTIFACT DIS PLAY, was awarded the single lot. The award date was not provided, but the contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The contract runs from 11 August 2026 to 1 April 2027. Its value is £77,888.94 excluding VAT and £93,465 gross, and it is below the applicable threshold. The contract is recorded as active. The requirement was treated as a services procurement for museum-exhibition services. The award covers museum mounts associated with the completed lot and delivery in the United Kingdom.

This award demonstrates demand from Lincolnshire County Council for specialist museum mount services supporting displays of significant archaeological, geological and palaeontological collections. Competitors preparing for a future requirement with this buyer would need credible expertise in designing, making or supplying mounts that safely support museum objects while fitting exhibition requirements. Relevant experience with archaeological finds, historic artefacts, geological specimens and palaeontological material would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where objects vary in size, material, condition and conservation sensitivity. Suppliers should also be able to work within a museum environment and translate collection and gallery requirements into practical display solutions. The awarded supplier’s object and artefact display focus indicates the type of specialist exhibition capability that satisfied this requirement.
