UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Science Museum Group is procuring works to modernise an existing lift at the Science Museum in London. The work includes dismantling and removing some existing lift equipment for disposal, then designing, supplying and installing the replacement equipment, followed by testing, commissioning and putting the lift into service. This is a lift modernisation and installation project, rather than a purchase of standalone equipment. The requirement is for a single package of works at the museum.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender set a deadline for questions of 7 October 2026 at 5pm and a bid submission deadline of 12 October 2026 at 9am. The planned contract period runs from 23 October 2026 to 22 October 2027. The estimated value is £270,000 excluding VAT (£324,000 including VAT). There is one lot. The award criteria are described in the tender documents. Responses were to be submitted through the Science Museum Group’s procurement portal, in the format set out in the response document and signed by an authorised supplier representative.

This opportunity is suited to lift contractors able to manage a complete modernisation project: removal and disposal of existing equipment, design and supply of replacement equipment, installation, testing, commissioning and setting the lift to work. Suppliers will need the technical capability and project capacity to carry out the work at an operating museum site and deliver the full sequence of works within the contract period. The scope may also suit firms able to coordinate design, equipment supply and installation, whether directly or through delivery partners. The tender describes the required response format and evaluation basis in its procurement documents.
