What is being bought

The full Invitation to Tender can be downloaded from the Royal Artillery Museum website: https://www.royalartillerymuseum.com/work-us The Royal Artillery Museum is developing a new museum on land near Larkhill Artillery Barracks, creating a modern visitor destination that showcases the history, heritage, and global contributions of the Royal Artillery (hereafter referred to as 'the Project'). The Project will: - Create a sustainable, purpose-built museum and collection centre - rooted in Salisbury Plain, environmentally responsible by design, defined by integrity, inclusion and community connection; - Engage new audiences, diversifying participation by age, gender and background; - Offer new volunteering, training, and research opportunities, strengthening social value and heritage skills; - Create new exhibitions, as well as an accessible conservation workshop, giving visitors greater access to the collection; - Deliver flexible learning, archive and research facilities and community spaces; - Provide secure, environmentally appropriate storage for the nationally significant collection, improving conservation and collections management; - Enhance the local environment through landscape restoration, biodiversity planting and outdoor interpretation, linking heritage and ecology on Salisbury Plain; - Strengthen organisational resilience, increasing earned income and volunteer capacity, reducing carbon impact; - Support wider cultural, educational, economic and community cohesion priorities for Wiltshire and the Army. The Project has been awarded a Development Grant by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The Development Phase will comprise RIBA Stages 2-3 design work, along with associated planning, surveys, exhibition design, activity planning, business planning, and consultation. The Royal Artillery Museum invites Tenders from suitably qualified and experienced Project Managers to support the Project through RIBA Stages 2-7. There will be a break clause after RIBA Stage 3 as the next phase is dependent on a successful Delivery Phase application to The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is Project management consultancy services (72224000); 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 setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“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.

Price-outcome signal

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.
