## Summary

The Victoria and Albert Museum is initiating a procurement process for the "Museum Standard Frames Framework," seeking to establish a non-exclusive framework agreement for providing museum-standard picture frames. This procurement, valued at £90,000, falls under the goods category and has been classified under CPV code 39298200. The procurement method employed is a selective restricted procedure. The previous tender period concluded on 30 April 2020, and the current contract period is effective until 30 April 2023. The museum is located in South Kensington, London.

This tender presents a robust opportunity for businesses specialising in picture framing, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that meet the framework's criteria. Companies capable of delivering high-quality museum-standard frames and those with a proven track record in similar projects will likely find this procurement appealing. Engaging in this framework can help such businesses expand their clientele and establish long-term partnerships within the cultural sector.

## Notice

The V&A published a notice seeking to put in place a non-exclusive, non-binding framework agreement with a number of framing companies for the provision of museum standard frames. The procurement process was paused due to COVID-19. This process is now being discontinued and a new advert will be published shortly.
