This initiative aims to engage three qualified organisations to provide expert fire engineering services and address fire safety and legislation queries across the Group's projects. The procurement, conducted via an open procedure, culminated in awarding contracts to Maze Fire Consulting, OFR Consultants, and Ove Arup & Partners Limited. This framework agreement, effective from 19 December 2025, spans three years with a possible one-year extension and is based in London with a focus on the "Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services" industry category. The contract opens significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in fire protection and control consultancy services, quantity surveying, and related engineering services. SMEs such as Maze Fire Consulting and OFR Consultants have demonstrated a commendable capability to compete and secure roles within such frameworks. The process encourages dynamic competition and innovation in service delivery, allowing businesses of varying scales to showcase their expertise and secure long-term associations with prominent public authorities like the Science Museum Group. ## Notice The Science Museum Group would like to appoint a framework of three qualified and competent organisations that will provide SMG with expert fire engineering expertise in response to specific project requirements, fire safety and fire legislation queries as well as ad hoc requests from all Departments across the Group. Details are provided in the ITT document pack. ### Lot Information Lot LOT-0001 Renewal: The Agreement is intended to run for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for up to 1 year at SMG's sole discretion. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000441-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jan 2026 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jul 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Aug 2025 | | Contract period | 19 Dec 2025 - 18 Dec 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | £500,000 | | Awards value | £500,000 | | Contracts value | £500,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCIENCE MUSEUM GROUP | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW7 2DD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Brompton & Hans Town | | Westminster constituency | Kensington and Bayswater | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 3 | | Supplier names | MAZE FIRE CONSULTING; OFR CONSULTANTS; OVE ARUP & PARTNERS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 71317100 - Fire and explosion protection and control consultancy services - 71324000 - Quantity surveying services ## Release History - 5 Jan 2026 at 16:07 - AwardUpdate - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000441-2026 - 5 Jan 2026 at 14:34 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000359-2026 - 5 Jan 2026 at 14:26 - AwardUpdate - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000352-2026 - 11 Aug 2025 at 14:49 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047732-2025 - 16 Jun 2025 at 15:48 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032745-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000441-2026 5th January 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000359-2026 5th January 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000352-2026 5th January 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047732-2025 11th August 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032745-2025 16th June 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sciencemuseumgroup/aspx/Home - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
