This is a large award for Environment & Waste — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 11,894 valued Environment & Waste tenders in our corpus.
Victoria and Albert Museum has published 3 Environment & Waste notices, about every 50 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around April 2030.
16% of Victoria and Albert Museum’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
Here at the V&A we monitor the environmental conditions of our galleries using an environmental monitoring system, or EMS.
Our current EMS is going end of life in 2027 so we are looking for a replacement.
Our intention is to set up a multi-supplier framework that other authorities can also easily use.
The framework will consist of a number of suppliers that can provide a complete EMS solution (in terms of software, hardware and support services) to monitor temperature, relative humidity, light (lux), and UV.
We are planning to build in a trial stage as part of our procurement process to establish the framework agreement.
V&A South Kensington is a large historic building and we want suppliers to demonstrate the real world performance of their EMS solution in this building before they can be appointed to the framework.
The trial will involve a limited number of suppliers running their EMS for a 3~ month period in a specific gallery to demonstrate that they can meet the requirements of operating an EMS in a challenging real world environment.
By setting up a framework that other authorities can use to procure their EMS requirements, other institutions will be able to benefit from the outcome of our trials process.
Please note that whilst we have stated the framework value is £20m, we don't have any way of accurately estimating the value of call-off contracts that will be placed using this framework.
To avoid making substantial modifications under Section 74 of the Procurement Act 2023, we have made a conservatively (high) estimate.

Matched against the notice text, so this is a floor — the tender pack will demand things the notice never mentions. “Says must” means the quoted sentence itself used obligation language; anything ambiguous is left as a mention.
