The framework, which falls under the services category, has been awarded to Risk To Resolution Ltd and is valued at £600,000 gross with a net amount of £500,000. The process utilised an open procedure and is now in the contract award stage, with documents indicating it was signed on 18 February 2026. The framework will run for an initial two-year period, with an option to extend for a further two years, concluding by February 2030. Mandatory site visit requirements were part of the tender prerequisites, with key events in the tender process occurring in London and York, UK, focusing on security services. This framework presents significant business opportunities for firms specialising in security services. The appointment of a single provider allows for strategic alignment with SMG’s varying security demands, making this an ideal opportunity for businesses with robust capabilities in security consultancy. The open competition attracted a significant number of bids, particularly from SMEs, illustrating the competitive nature and demand in the security consultancy industry. For businesses looking to expand their footprint within the central government public authority domain, involvement in such frameworks can foster growth, establish expertise, and promote long-term partnerships with prominent organisations like the Science Museum Group. ## Notice The Science Museum Group would like to appoint a framework with one provider that will provide SMG with security expertise in response to specific project requirements, security best practice queries as well as ad hoc requests from all Departments across the Group. Site visits will be held on Monday 22nd September at the Science Museum and Wednesday 24th September at the National Railway Museum. Please note, before completing your tender response, a mandatory site visit to the Science Museum in London or the National Railway Museum in York is required. Any respondents who have not visited, will not be considered. Potential bidders should book the site visits by 5pm on Thursday 18th September. To note: in March 2026 SMG will be completing the procurement of the Security officer provision. This process is considered to be in conflict with the above requirement and therefore should the successful provider from this framework wishes to bid for the security officer provision and were successful they would need to withdraw from the framework and a new tender would be completed. Please refer to the tender documents for further details. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The Agreement is intended to run for an initial period of 2 years with the option to extend for up to 2 additional years 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/030305-2026 | | 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 | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | 3 Oct 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Nov 2025 | | Contract period | 18 Feb 2026 - 17 Feb 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 | 1 | | Supplier names | RISK TO RESOLUTION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79710000 - Security services ## Release History - 1 Apr 2026 at 11:11 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030305-2026 - 7 Nov 2025 at 10:57 - AwardUpdate - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/071926-2025 - 7 Nov 2025 at 10:54 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/071925-2025 - 17 Sep 2025 at 09:37 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/057222-2025 - 1 Sep 2025 at 13:56 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052859-2025 - 1 Sep 2025 at 13:49 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052855-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030305-2026 1st April 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/071926-2025 7th November 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/071925-2025 7th November 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/057222-2025 17th September 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052859-2025 1st September 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/052855-2025 1st September 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/sciencemuseumgroup/aspx/ProjectManage/1512 ## 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.
