## Summary

The Natural History Museum (NHM) has successfully completed the award of its Western Stack Feasibility project, which aimed to procure 2D and 3D scanning services for the Waterhouse Building in London. The procurement process began with a tender announcement on 19th June 2025 and concluded with the awarding of the contract on 29th September 2025. The tender was classified under the industry category of architectural, engineering, and surveying services. An open competition method was employed, with the tender process involving several stages, including planning, tendering, and ultimately the contract award. The procurement included a series of deadlines, such as the tender period ending on 11th July 2025, and was characterised by the requirement for all tenderers to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement to participate.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in architectural and surveying services, particularly those with capabilities in advanced scanning and modelling techniques. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in handling historical building projects will find such tenders particularly suited to their expertise. This procurement required strong competencies in delivering detailed 2D and 3D models—a field that allows businesses to showcase innovative technological solutions, potentially boosting their market profile and experience in public sector projects. Businesses engaged in this contract have the potential to benefit from a high-profile project under a prestigious institution, potentially unlocking further opportunities within the public and heritage sectors.
