PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Museums Scotland is procuring floor finishing works at the National War Museum Scotland, Edinburgh Castle. The requirement covers sanding and resealing the floors in Galleries 2 and 3, within a scheduled monument and museum environment. This is a works contract for specialist flooring and refurbishment contractors, with the work taking place at the museum in Edinburgh. The buying organisation is National Museums Scotland. The site environment means contractors will need to plan and work carefully around heritage surroundings and museum operations. The procurement covers one requirement rather than a wider programme of works. The classification is CPV 45432114, floor-laying and covering work, with related classifications for joinery and floor coverings.

The buyer reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically by 11 August 2026 at 12:00 UK time, with tender opening at the same time. The contract period is 17 August to 28 August 2026, and works may be carried out during or outside normal working hours of 08:00 to 17:00. The estimated contract value is £10,000. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. The requirement is a single lot, with variants not permitted and no renewal or additional-purchase option. A document access fee applies. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published requirement sets a basic Disclosure Scotland certificate, issued no more than three months before the work, for every operative.

This opportunity suits flooring contractors able to sand and reseal floors to a professional standard, mobilise a small works team for a short, fixed programme, and work within an operational museum. Suppliers should be comfortable delivering construction or refurbishment work in a scheduled monument, where protecting historic surroundings and coordinating access will be important. Every operative assigned to the work must hold a Basic Disclosure Scotland Certificate that is no more than three months old, so contractors need the capacity to meet that workforce compliance requirement before deployment. The ability to work flexibly during or outside normal daytime hours will help suppliers accommodate the museum setting. It is likely to suit established local flooring and finishing specialists with relevant heritage, museum or similarly controlled-site experience.
