UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Victoria and Albert Museum commissioned refurbishment of the Ironworks Roof at its South Kensington site in London. The works comprise removing and disposing of water-damaged insulation and the existing asphalt roof covering, then installing a new roof covering and insulation. Structural investigations are also included, with repairs possible if the investigations identify a need. This is a building-roof refurbishment project, classified under roof and specialist construction works (CPV 45260000). The requirement is focused on one roof area at the museum, rather than a broader estate-wide roofing programme. The successful supplier is Coniston Limited, a London-based small business.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Victoria and Albert Museum used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot. Coniston Limited was selected for the award. The contract was signed on 7 October 2026 and runs from 7 October 2026 to 17 March 2027. Its value is £1,559,240.60 excluding VAT, or £1,871,088.72 including VAT. The contract allows additional works to be identified during discovery. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available process information.

This award shows demand from the Victoria and Albert Museum for substantial, site-specific roof refurbishment, including removal and disposal of water-damaged insulation and asphalt, installation of replacements, and structural investigation with potential repair work. Suppliers seeking to be credible for a similar requirement should be able to manage a complete roofing package and respond to repair needs uncovered once the existing roof is opened up. The scale points to a need for sufficient workforce, project management and specialist construction capability to deliver coordinated strip-out, replacement and investigation work at a prominent museum site. The buyer used a limited competition for this below-threshold requirement, and the successful supplier was a small London-based company.
