This initiative forms part of the broader Houses of Parliament Restoration & Renewal Programme, aimed at preserving thousands of heritage items, including artworks, furniture, and architectural fabric within the Palace of Westminster, an iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site. This procurement falls within several industry categories such as horology, miscellaneous repair and maintenance services, and museum services. The tender, presently in the 'Tender' stage, closes on 10 January 2025. Located in London, the contract will commence on 17 February 2025 and run until 23 February 2029. An online market information event will be held on 20 November 2024 for interested parties. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in collections conservation, particularly those with expertise in repairing and maintaining historical artefacts. Suitable contenders include self-employed conservators, sole traders, limited companies, and other organisations specialising in heritage conservation services. The DPS is designed to streamline the procurement process for both the Restoration & Renewal Delivery Authority Ltd and the Houses of Parliament, allowing registered specialists to bid for ongoing and future conservation work. SMEs and VCSEs are explicitly encouraged to apply, which could lead to substantial growth opportunities by securing long-term contracts within this prestigious project. The specified restricted procedure and segmented categories within the DPS enhance the chances for qualified businesses to find their niche and contribute to the conservation efforts of the UK’s parliamentary heritage. ## Notice The Palace of Westminster is an internationally recognised symbol of the UK and democracy, and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Extensive work is needed to restore the Palace and as part of planning for restoration, teams are assessing and recording details of thousands of heritage items such as artworks and furniture within the Parliamentary Heritage Collections. The Parliamentary Heritage Collections are the national collection documenting the history, work and people of Parliament and comprise over 26,000 objects. They are made up of the Parliamentary Art Collection, the Historic Furniture and Decorative Art Collections and the Architectural Fabric Collection. Parliament's Heritage Collections teams have overall responsibility for the conservation of these collections, and work closely with the Restoration & Renewal Delivery Authority Ltd (the limited company responsible for delivering the Palace of Westminster restoration and renewal works following necessary decisions from both Houses on the way forward which are expected in 2025). The Delivery Authority and UK Parliament wish to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (the DPS) for appointing collections care and conservation specialists to maintain, restore, conserve, and move where necessary Parliament's collections now and during Restoration & Renewal works. Both the Restoration & Renewal Delivery Authority Ltd and the Houses of Parliament will be contracting authorities entitled to use the Collections Conservation DPS (the CCDPS). The Delivery Authority and Houses of Parliament invite suitably qualified conservators and collection care specialists to register with the Collections Conservation DPS to bid for future contract opportunities. The Collections Conservation DPS will be used by the Restoration & Renewal Delivery Authority Ltd to appoint conservators to continue to develop and undertake object assessment activities, to develop object requirements and inform future plans and procedures for either a) removing and storing the collections off site during restoration works, or b) protecting and monitoring them in situ. The Houses of Parliament will use the Collections Conservation DPS to procure for the continued core conservation care and maintenance of the collections, where a specialist conservator is required to mobilise and attend the site at short notice. The Collections Conservation DPS is split into twenty Categories of Services.
