Summary of the contracting process

Worcester City Council commissioned two bespoke museum-grade display showcases for the new Gloving Gallery at Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum in Worcester. The requirement covers the complete supply chain: design and manufacture, delivery, installation, commissioning, user training and a 12-month warranty. Each showcase is to provide glazed display areas and drawers, integrated dimmable LED lighting, security glass, locking arrangements and environmental-control facilities. The work is for the display and protection of museum collections, so it suits specialist manufacturers and installers of museum, gallery or heritage display cases, particularly those able to deliver a complete fitted solution rather than supply standalone cabinets.

The procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot and the contract was awarded to CLICK NETHERFIELD LIMITED. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 22 January 2027. Its value is £31,914 excluding VAT, or £38,296.80 including VAT. The resulting contract is active. The published information identifies the requirement as goods and uses a limited procedure; it does not set out an evaluation weighting or separate award date. The selected supplier is based in Livingston, while delivery and installation are for Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Worcester City Council for specialist museum-display infrastructure delivered as a complete package. Competitors would need credible capability in bespoke, museum-grade showcase manufacture, including glazed display areas, drawers, security glass, secure locking and integrated dimmable LED lighting. Experience of environmental control is important because the showcases are intended to protect museum collections. A strong offering would also cover coordinated delivery, installation, commissioning and practical training, backed by a 12-month warranty. The requirement is best suited to established display-case manufacturers or specialist contractors with sufficient production and installation capacity to manage custom fabrication and a heritage venue’s protection, security and conservation needs.
