## Summary

Derbyshire County Council has concluded a procurement process for the secure storage of fragile materials from Buxton Museum & Art Gallery. The tender, titled "PLACE697ER - Buxton Museum & Art Gallery Secure Collections Storage - Fragile Materials," falls under the storage services industry category. The procurement covers the off-site storage of artefacts in environmentally controlled conditions, with services beginning on 2nd December 2024 and extending until 3rd December 2029. The procurement stage is currently at the Award phase, with the tender having been completed. The contract was awarded on 22nd November 2024 to Restore Plc for a total value of £58,030 GBP (including VAT), with the tender process including a proposal to use Protocol 8 for a sole supplier appointment.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in secure storage services, particularly those equipped to handle environmentally sensitive artefacts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in museum collections management, as well as those providing storage solutions with monitoring and retrieval capabilities, will find this contract conducive to business growth. This contract is especially relevant for businesses capable of offering dedicated and secure storage environments, further strengthening their credentials and opening up future procurement opportunities across similar public sector projects.

## Notice

The service required is the off-site secure storage of artefacts from the Museum's collection, in appropriate environmentally controlled conditions. The collections will be monitored during storage, and when a new venue for the Museum is secured and prepared, the collections will be returned and displayed. In the interim, facilities must be available for artefacts to be retrieved for pop-up displays and use by researchers, on a charged-for basis. Only one supplier has been identified that is able to accommodate the fragile collections in the timescale required, and over a 5-year period the cost will be c. PS52,750 + VAT As such, we propose to use Protocol 8 as a sole supplier appointment.
