UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of London is procuring a specialist packaging and crating service for exhibitions and logistics. The requirement covers the deinstallation of an existing packing and crating solution and associated service provision, including packaging support for exhibition materials and logistical movements. This is a service contract rather than a supply of standalone packaging products or construction works. Delivery is associated with the City of London, where the buying authority is based and where the contracted activity is required. The procurement falls within packaging services (CPV 79921000). Businesses relevant to this requirement include exhibition logistics providers, specialist art and object handlers, packaging contractors and companies able to deinstall, manage and support crating solutions for exhibition-related movements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed, with Queens Limited selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its gross value is £42,511.20. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available record does not set out separate quality, price or other scoring weightings. The active award and active contract cover the packaging and crating service for exhibition and logistics, including deinstallation activity. This is a completed procurement rather than an available opportunity, but its award establishes the buyer’s requirement, chosen route and contracted scale for future market analysis.

This award is commercially relevant to suppliers that can combine specialist packing and crating with practical deinstallation and exhibition logistics. A credible competitor would need to handle exhibition materials carefully, dismantle or deinstall crating and packing arrangements, and coordinate the associated movements reliably for a public-sector buyer. Useful capability is therefore likely to include experienced operational staff, suitable handling and packing equipment, and established processes for protecting items during removal, storage or transport. The requirement also suits businesses able to manage a complete service rather than provide packaging materials alone. Firms with demonstrable exhibition, fine-art, museum, events or logistics experience would be well placed to assess similar City of London requirements when this type of service returns to market.
