## Summary

This public procurement process, initiated by the Corporate Officer of the House of Commons and the Corporate Officer of the House of Lords, sought a supplier for heritage collections storage services. The tender was classified under services within the storage and warehousing industry category. The procurement aimed at securing a storage facility within two hours' travel via public transport from Westminster, UK. The process involved an open procedure, commencing with an active tender stage in October 2024, followed by awards to the supplier, CONSTANTINE LTD, in April 2025. The project entailed a £33,633,345.75 contract for a minimum of 3,300 square metres of controlled storage space, with provisions for a conservation studio, suitable climate-controlled areas, and secure transport services.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses offering specialised storage solutions, transport services, and facilities management, particularly those capable of meeting stringent security and environmental control requirements. Storage providers with expertise in handling delicate heritage objects and offering logistic solutions like temperature-controlled transport and on-site workspaces can considerably benefit. SMEs like CONSTANTINE LTD demonstrate the tender's potential for businesses with an agility and specialisation in bespoke logistics and conservation services, making it suitable for those positioned in or adjacent to the UK's capital region.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Authority is seeking a supplier to store its heritage objects. The requirement is for a minimum of 3,300 square metres of fit for purpose, non-shared floor space within a secure, object storage facility located within 2 hours travel via public transport of Westminster, UK. This will be for an initial term of 5 years with the option for the Authority to extend for a period of up to 5 years in 1 year extensions.

The facility must have space and accommodation for Parliamentary staff to work within the dedicated storage space. The facility must be fit for the purpose of storing heritage objects within climate-controlled spaces and have an ancillary space for use as a conservation studio. It needs to provide industry-standard, object storage systems (at 3.5m high) with good floor loading (at 5kN/m2 or above) to enable the efficient storage of different object media. This is likely to necessitate storage on ground floor slab for Architectural Fabric Collection (AFC) objects due to the requirement to move objects via forklift. The Contract will also require transport in GIS-compliant, secure, temperature-controlled vehicles with air-ride suspension, and a regular porterage service up to three times per week with a team of 4-6 technicians.
