Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council has completed a procurement process under the tender titled "Contract for the Provision of Professional Technical Advice Services for V&A and Other Specialist Buildings." This procurement falls under the industry category of general public services and is localized to Dundee City, with Dundee City Council serving as the buying organisation. The procurement, registered under the ID DCC/CD/221/25, was carried out using a limited procedure, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition based on the SPA Consultancy Services Framework. This process has now reached the contract award stage as of 30th March 2026, with the contract valued at £225,000 GBP. The project aims to provide technical advice services for iconic structures, including the V&A museum, enhancing infrastructure within the region.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specializing in professional technical advisory services, particularly those with experience in working with cultural or specialist buildings. Given the contract's requirements, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that provide niche consultancy services might find this especially fitting to their capabilities. The awarded vendor, Thomson Gray Limited, highlights the demand for expertise in technical advice, creating a potential growth avenue for businesses equipped to offer innovative solutions in the public services domain. Firms with a strategic focus on public infrastructure development and those registered within frameworks similar to the SPA Consultancy Services could position themselves well for future opportunities in similar procurements.
