Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council is procuring the manufacture and installation of wayfinding signage for Paisley Museum in Paisley. The requirement covers signage for the museum’s displays and facilities, helping visitors navigate the full campus. The work includes interior and exterior signs made from powder-coated folded metal, CNC-cut vinyl, built-up letters and bespoke routed Valchromat coloured MDF. These signs will be fixed to a range of wall, ceiling and ground surfaces. The signage has already been designed by international designers and includes a fluted routed Valchromat treatment referencing Paisley’s historic weaving industry. This is a goods supply and installation requirement for a specialist signage, display or environmental graphics contractor, with the council acting as the buying organisation.

The procurement reached tender: Renfrewshire Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The deadline set for bids was 13 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, when bids were also scheduled to be opened. The contract period is 60 days. Bids were required in English and were to remain valid until 11 January 2027. The opportunity is divided into one lot covering the complete signage manufacture and installation requirement; variants were not allowed and renewal was not included. Evaluation involves economic and technical selection requirements, together with tender compliance and other required declarations. The recommended tenderer must provide equalities documentation, a compliance certificate, no-collusion and prompt-payment certificates, insurance certification, a proposed subcontractor list and a new-supplier form.

This opportunity suits established signage manufacturers, exhibition and museum display contractors, environmental graphics firms and specialist fit-out businesses able to deliver both fabrication and installation. Suppliers need practical experience working with powder-coated folded metal, CNC-cut vinyl, built-up lettering and routed Valchromat or comparable coloured MDF, together with the ability to install signs securely on walls, ceilings and ground surfaces. The requirement is particularly relevant to businesses experienced in interpreting and producing detailed designer-led schemes, including bespoke finishes and multiple sign types across an occupied or visitor-facing cultural site. Competitors should be able to demonstrate sound economic and technical capability, hold appropriate insurance, manage subcontractors where needed and meet equalities, fair-work, anti-collusion and prompt-payment requirements.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Paisley Museum - Signage

Notice Description

Renfrewshire Council requires a Contractor make and install the wayfinding signage for Paisley Museum.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Council requires a Contractor to make and install the wayfinding signage that has been designed by international designers. The signage design aims to help visitors find their way around all the displays and facilities, ensuring that they see all that the campus has to offer. The exterior and interior signage includes: powder-coated folded metal, CNC-cut vinyls (interior and external), built-up letters, and some bespoke routed ValchromatTM (through-and-through coloured MDF) signs, affixed to a variety of wall, ceiling and ground surfaces. The 'fluted' effect of the routed Valchromat element of the signs uniquely references - in an abstract way - the warp threads on the looms that were prevalent in the town synonymous with the Paisley pattern.
