## Summary

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport required a supplier to provide international transportation and installation services for artwork. The requirement is categorised as transport services and falls within the services sector. Work is associated with the department’s London location at 100 Parliament Street, and the delivery postcode is SW1A 2BQ. The scope is therefore relevant to specialist art logistics companies, fine-art transport providers, exhibition installation contractors and businesses able to coordinate the safe movement and installation of artworks. The named requirement is for Constantine, indicating a specific transportation and installation assignment rather than a general supply of goods or standard freight services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Constantine Ltd on 24 July 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 11 June 2026 at 12:00. The tender estimated value was £100,000, while the awarded value was £300,000; these are separate figures and should not be combined. The awarded contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2027. Constantine Ltd is the active awarded supplier. The available procurement information identifies the requirement as an artwork transport and installation service, with the award made through the existing framework route.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport for a combined artwork transport and installation service, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate practical capability in moving artworks internationally and installing them at the required destination, with dependable coordination across transport and on-site installation activities. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist firms may be able to compete where they can evidence the necessary operational capacity. Relevant businesses include fine-art logistics specialists, art handlers, exhibition contractors and transport providers with installation teams or suitable delivery partners.
