Summary of the contracting process

National Museums Scotland is procuring fire-stopping remedial works across its museum estate. The works category is fire protection installation and repair (CPV 45343100). The requirement is divided across five sites: the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh; the National Museum of Flight at East Fortune; the National Museum of Rural Life at Wester Kittochside; the National War Museum Scotland at Edinburgh Castle; and the National Museums Collection Centre at 242 West Granton Road, Edinburgh. The buyer is National Museums Scotland. Suppliers may bid for any number of the five site-based lots, covering remedial fire-stopping works delivered in accordance with the associated specifications and schedules of work.

The procurement reached tender: National Museums Scotland invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids had to be submitted by 18 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time. Each lot has a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The five lots cover the National Museum of Scotland, National Museum of Flight, National Museum of Rural Life, National War Museum Scotland and National Museums Collection Centre. Variants are not allowed. Bids must remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline. Tenderers must provide documentary evidence that they are suitably qualified and registered with the appropriate bodies. A document access fee applies.

This opportunity suits fire-stopping contractors able to carry out remedial works across operational museum and collection facilities, with capacity to work at one or several Scottish sites. Strong candidates will have relevant fire-protection installation experience, suitably qualified operatives and registration with the appropriate professional or industry bodies. The buyer requires tenderers to provide staff names and qualifications, so suppliers should have an identifiable delivery team and supporting competence records. All operatives must hold Basic Disclosure Scotland clearance, with at least three months remaining from the date of issue. The work is suitable for firms equipped to manage detailed site schedules, coordinate works across different buildings and deliver against location-specific specifications.
