UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Museums Liverpool commissioned refurbishment works at the Horseshoe Gallery in the World Museum, Liverpool. The project reinstates the gallery’s plaster ceilings, redecorates the space and alters its mechanical and electrical installations. It also covers roofing repairs and repointing above the gallery. The work addresses deterioration in the plaster ceiling. This is a building refurbishment and repair project involving internal finishes, building services and roof-level construction work. Delivery is at the World Museum in Liverpool.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to F. Parkinson Limited. The buyer used a selective route to award under an existing framework, without a competition for this call-off. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026 and runs from 13 October 2026 to 19 March 2027. Its value is £1,170,846.12 excluding VAT (£1,405,015.34 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the refurbishment works as a single package. The process records no separate evaluation criteria or scoring basis.

For comparable work at National Museums Liverpool, a credible contractor would need to deliver coordinated refurbishment in a live museum building, including plaster ceiling reinstatement, redecoration, mechanical and electrical alterations, roofing and repointing. The scope points to a need to manage both internal and roof-level trades and to address deterioration while completing a time-limited package. This award was made under a framework rather than through an open competition, so relevant suppliers would need access to an appropriate framework route as well as the construction capability to carry out the combined works. The award to F. Parkinson Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise, shows that a firm of this scale was selected for the project.
