Summary of the contracting process

Science Museum Group is seeking works to refurbish a store by designing and installing seven replacement roller shutter doors. The requirement covers the complete replacement solution, including design and installation, rather than the supply of doors alone. It is a building refurbishment and shutter-installation opportunity for contractors able to deliver a coordinated works package. The buying organisation is Science Museum Group, a central government public authority. The procurement title refers to a store refurbishment, but the contracting information does not identify a separate delivery location. The requirement is a single package covering all seven roller shutter doors, so suppliers should be able to manage the design, specification, removal or replacement activities and installation as one project.

The process has reached tender: the Science Museum Group invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender gives an estimated value of £350,000 excluding VAT and £420,000 including VAT. Questions could be submitted until 30 September 2026 at 17:00, and offers were due by 5 October 2026 at 15:00. The contract period was set from 21 October 2026 to 23 February 2027. There is one lot covering the full requirement. Electronic submission was allowed through the buyer’s online tendering service. The award basis is set out in the tender documents rather than described in the procurement data. The process is governed by the Procurement Act 2023 and is identified as tender NCC4178M.

This opportunity suits specialist commercial door, roller shutter and building-refurbishment contractors with the capability to design and install replacement shutter doors as part of a planned works project. Suppliers should be able to develop an appropriate technical solution, coordinate the associated refurbishment activities and deliver installation across seven doors. The single-package structure favours businesses able to take responsibility for the complete requirement, whether delivering the design and installation directly or managing specialist elements within their delivery team. Relevant experience in roller shutter replacement, refurbishment works and working safely within an operational museum or comparable public building environment would be commercially relevant. Contractors with established project management, surveying, installation and commissioning capability are likely to be best placed to compete.
