National Museums Liverpool (NML) is inviting tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors to enter into a multi-provider framework agreement to undertake Graphic Production and Installation across our exhibition galleries and venues. NML typically produce 18-22 Exhibitions and Displays across its 7 venues per year with at least 5 of those being considering large-scale. We also have several permanent galleries which require maintaining to a high level. We would be expecting contractors to be producing graphics including but not limited to large-scale printed wallpaper, graphic panels on substrates, printed and cut vinyl, labels, recyclable/sustainable signage, and screen printing. The requirements of each call-off contract will contain varying scope depending on the design and exhibition venue.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Signage (34928470); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 34 | 4,560 | 3 median · 24 average (1,842 of 4,560 with a bid count) | 3.7 average (2,058 of 4,560 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 0 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKD7 | 18 | 4.5 median · 5.3 average (10 of 18 with a bid count) | 1.4 average (12 of 18 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 270 | 2 median · 2.3 average (4 of 270 with a bid count) | 1 average (5 of 270 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
