Summary of the contracting process

Worcester City Council commissioned two bespoke museum display showcases for the new Gloving Gallery at Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum. The work covers supply, delivery and installation of the cases, with specialist conservation-grade display environments, lighting integrated into drawers, security glazing and locking systems. This is a supply-and-installation requirement for museum exhibition equipment and display cases (CPV 39154000 and 39171000). Delivery and installation are at the art gallery and museum in Worcester. The showcases are intended to display the gallery’s collection while providing conservation conditions and secure, illuminated storage and presentation.

The procurement is complete and awarded to CLICK NETHERFIELD LIMITED, a Livingston-based supplier. Worcester City Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The requirement was arranged as one lot. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 22 September 2026 to 22 February 2027. The contract value is £31,914 excluding VAT and £38,296.80 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement data does not set out a separate scored evaluation formula or detailed award criteria, so the precise basis on which competing offers were assessed is not established here.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Worcester City Council, this award indicates demand for specialist museum display cases rather than standard retail cabinetry. A credible competitor would need to design or supply bespoke showcases that combine conservation-grade environmental control with secure glazing, dependable locking and integrated lighting, and manage delivery and installation at a public museum. Experience delivering display solutions for galleries or museums, with the ability to coordinate conservation requirements and installation, would be directly relevant. The contract was awarded through a limited competition below the public procurement threshold, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through a restricted invitation route when similar requirements arise. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of specialist supply and installation was delivered by a smaller business.
