Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council commissioned refurbishment of historic display cases and an upgrade to a modern display case at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery. The work forms part of the museum’s Revitalising the Wildlife Galleries project and concerns the repair and maintenance of display furniture. The requirement covers a series of historic cases as well as one modern case, with delivery at the museum in Bristol. It is a specialist museum fit-out and conservation-related maintenance requirement, rather than general building refurbishment. The work is intended to renew the gallery’s display cases as part of the wider project to revitalise its wildlife galleries.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Renatus Limited. Bristol City Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The single lot was completed. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. The supplier was selected for the display-case refurbishment and upgrade work at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery. The published procurement information does not describe a competitive evaluation or scoring basis; the route was a direct award without competition.

This award shows demand for specialist refurbishment and maintenance of museum display cases, including work on historic cases alongside upgrades to modern display furniture. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement at Bristol City Council would need credible experience working with museum displays and the care required when refurbishing historic cases in a public gallery. Capability to assess and repair a series of cases, as well as upgrade modern display units, would be relevant. The contract’s scale indicates a focused, single-site specialist project rather than a broad museum redevelopment. The council used a direct award without competition for this purchase, so suppliers should recognise that the route used for this particular requirement did not provide an open competitive tender.
