Summary of the contracting process

National Museums Scotland is procuring works to replace the existing Medialon lighting and show-control system in Hangars 2 and 3 at the National Museum of Flight, East Fortune, East Lothian. The replacement system is based on Signify/Dynalite equipment and is intended to convert the existing installation for continued museum and visitor-facing use. The work is classified as electrical installation work (CPV 45317000), with lighting equipment also classified under CPV 31527260. National Museums Scotland is the buyer and the work will be delivered at the National Museum of Flight. The requirement covers one package of works for both hangars, rather than separate contracts for each location. Suppliers will need to understand the existing installation and the requirements for its conversion to the replacement control system.

The process reached tender: National Museums Scotland invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender closing deadline and bid opening were both 30 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the opening was to be attended by at least two members of the Estates Team at the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh. The contract period is 30 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The published tender value is £1.00. Bids must remain valid for 90 days after submission, and they must be in English. The procurement has one lot covering the Hangar 2 and 3 replacement works. Variant bids are not allowed, and the contract does not include renewal or additional options. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits electrical installation contractors and specialist lighting or show-control integrators able to replace and commission control equipment in an existing museum installation. All tenderers must undertake a site visit to both Hangars 2 and 3 before bidding, so suppliers should be prepared to inspect the current Medialon system and develop a practical conversion approach for Signify/Dynalite equipment. The buyer requires bidders to provide the names and professional qualifications of the staff who will carry out the work, making relevant technically qualified personnel important. The requirement is likely to suit businesses with experience of lighting-control replacement, systems integration, installation in complex public or visitor environments, and coordinating works around an existing operational venue. Firms able to manage the complete installation across both hangars may be best placed to compete.
