Description
Security tender invites for the Natural History Museum and V&A are coming soon! We are giving advance notice that on 01 April 2026 we will be posting a Tender Notice to kickstart a procurement process for security services to our organisations. This is not a call for competition, just an update with our timeline for the procurement process. This will be a single contract for a lead supplier to deliver the services. The contract will include the following services at a number of sites: • 24/7 Control room services (command and control, CCTV and alarm monitoring) • Security guarding and patrols • Key and pass issue • Event security • Logistics (deliveries etc) More information will be available in the pack once we go live on 01 April 2026. Unfortunately due to market engagement rules we can't discuss this any further with individual suppliers. All the information in this notice is accurate to the best of our knowledge but is subject to amendment between now and April as we develop our tender pack. The current contract is held by a consortium comprising the V&A, NHM and Science Museum Group. The Science Museum Group has decided to leave the consortium and proceed alone for the re-tendering of its security services. Therefore the new consortium comprises the V&A and NHM.
