## Summary

Norfolk County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Design and Build of Early Years Exhibition Fit Out at Norwich Castle," classified under museum-exhibition services. This project, located in the Norwich area of the United Kingdom, proceeded under a below threshold procurement method. Initially undertaken in 2021 as an ITQ for a sub £50k process, increased costs due to construction delays and design changes necessitated an exemption to accommodate the revised budget. The procurement stage reached completion, with the contract awarded to The Hub Build Limited, and spans from late June 2025 to the end of October 2025. The contractual agreement, valued at £72,000 gross, was signed on 27th June 2025.

This procurement presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses within the construction and exhibition fit-out sectors, particularly those experienced in services tailored for public authorities. Companies similar to The Hub Build Limited, an SME based in Redditch, stand well-positioned to compete for such contracts, offering specialty services in museum and exhibition installations. The involvement of sub-central government authorities such as Norfolk County Council underscores the potential for further public sector collaborations and contract awards in this domain.

## Notice

ITQ for sub PS50k process undertaken in 2021 and contract awarded. Increased materials costs due to wider constructions work delays and some design changes mean that this procurement is now over PS50k. Exemption needed to enable new order to be raised (to replace old un-editable orders in old Oracle system) to enable agreed cost changes to be incorporated. Exemption granted and arranged by Timothy Howard for this but linked to other tendered contract with the same supplier.
