Summary of the contracting process

National Museums Scotland is procuring building works to replace windows in the Exhibition Building at the National Museum of Rural Life, Wester Kittochside, East Kilbride. The requirement covers 11 windows according to the title and lot description, although the accompanying tender description refers to seven windows, so suppliers should check the plans and photographs before pricing. The replacement windows must match the colour of the existing windows, but may be manufactured from any appropriate material. This is a specialist window replacement and installation project, within the wider construction works category and associated with window installation. The buyer is National Museums Scotland, based in Edinburgh. The work is confined to the museum site at Wester Kittochside, East Kilbride.

The procurement reached tender: National Museums Scotland invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. There is one lot. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 18 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with tender opening at the same time; evaluation is scheduled to start on that date. The contract is planned to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 October 2026, and the estimated value is £20,000. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. Variants are allowed. All operatives installing the windows must hold a Basic Disclosure Scotland Certificate issued no more than three months previously. The tender is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The supplied material includes a scoping document, floor plans for levels one to three and structural elevation drawings.

This opportunity suits a small construction contractor, joinery firm or specialist window installer able to survey, supply and install multiple replacement windows in a museum or other occupied public building. Suppliers will need to interpret architectural plans, photographs and structural elevation information, remove existing windows and install replacements accurately within the specified programme. The ability to propose an appropriate window material while matching the colour of the existing building fabric is important. Contractors should have enough installation capacity to complete the work during the stated delivery period and should be comfortable working to a public-sector client’s site and coordination requirements. Every operative involved in installation must hold a recent Basic Disclosure Scotland Certificate, so firms need compliant staff or subcontractors before undertaking the work.
