UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Science Museum Group is procuring the supply and installation of a new gas-fired, coil-type steam generator boiler. It must be sized and selected to provide the steam services required by the Mill Engine. This is a boiler replacement and installation works requirement, rather than a general boiler supply: the successful supplier will need to provide the equipment and install it. The work is for the Science Museum Group’s East Hall boiler project at the Science Museum in London. The requirement is a single package covering the boiler and its installation.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The deadline for questions was 23 October 2026 at 17:00, and the submission deadline was 28 October 2026 at 16:00. The contract period is scheduled from 4 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £200,000 excluding VAT (£240,000 including VAT). The procurement is below the applicable threshold. It is structured as one lot. The stated evaluation basis refers bidders to the tender documents, so suppliers will need to consult those documents for the detailed award criteria.

This requirement is suited to suppliers able to source and install gas-fired coil-type steam generator boilers, and to select and size equipment against a defined steam demand. Relevant experience would include boiler replacement, installation and integration with equipment that relies on steam, particularly engine or museum plant. Suppliers should be capable of delivering both the boiler and installation as one package and completing the works within the stated contract period. The work is a focused, single-site installation in London, rather than a multi-site supply programme. The buyer is seeking offers through an open competition, and the tender documents set out the detailed evaluation basis suppliers must address.
