## Summary

The procurement exercise conducted by the British Library Board, a public authority in central government based in London, aimed to secure a principal contractor to deliver museum-exhibition services for the temporary exhibition "Agatha Christie: A World of Mystery". This exhibition will take place at the British Library's St Pancras site, specifically within the PACCAR 1 and PACCAR 2 Galleries, from 30 October 2026 to 20 June 2027. The contracting process has reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to SETWORKS LIMITED. The procurement method used was a limited competition approach, below the threshold with a light-touch regime, and the contract has commenced as of 13 May 2026. The contract has a gross value of GBP 435,270.29.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in museum-exhibition services, particularly those capable of managing temporary exhibitions and providing comprehensive solutions from consultation through to execution. SETWORKS LIMITED, an SME based in Croydon, has been identified as the successful supplier, showcasing the potential for small to medium enterprises to thrive in such competitive processes. Organisations operating within the UK regions specified for delivery but with a focus on London, where the British Library is located, would find similar tenders advantageous for expanding their portfolios and enhancing their industry presence.
