Summary of the contracting process

National Museums Scotland commissioned replacement of the lighting and show-control system in Hangars 2 and 3 at the National Museum of Flight, East Fortune, East Lothian. The existing Medialon controls are to be replaced with a Signify/Dynalite system. This is a specialist electrical installation and lighting-controls works project, classified under CPV 45317000. The scope covered both hangars as one lot. Tenderers were required to visit both sites to inspect the existing installation and understand the conversion requirements. The buying organisation is National Museums Scotland, and delivery is at its National Museum of Flight site in East Lothian.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Burlington Waugh. The contract is active and was signed on 8 October 2026, with a value of £23,644.23. The stated contract period runs from 30 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The buyer used an open procedure for a single lot, with electronic tender submission and no variant bids. The tender deadline and bid opening were both set for 30 September 2026. Two bids were received, both from small and medium-sized enterprises. Tenderers had to name the staff assigned to the work, and bids had to remain valid for 90 days. No award criteria or evaluation weighting are stated in the provided procurement details.

This award shows demand for specialist lighting-controls replacement at a museum site, including conversion from an existing Medialon installation to Signify/Dynalite equipment. A credible competitor for similar work would need to demonstrate practical experience assessing and replacing installed control systems, integrating the selected lighting-control technology, and planning installation around the conditions of working hangars. The requirement involved two separate hangars at one National Museum of Flight location, so suppliers should be equipped to survey multiple spaces and understand existing infrastructure before designing or delivering the conversion. The buyer required the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work, making evidence of a suitably qualified delivery team relevant. The competition attracted two SME bids, showing that the work was accessible to smaller specialist suppliers as well as larger contractors.
