In plain English
National Museums NI wants one supplier to provide seven secure key cabinets across five of its sites, with support, maintenance, warranty and training. The estimated value is £310,000, with an initial four-year term and options to extend by up to two further periods of up to two years each.
What the buyer wants
• Supply seven secure key cabinets across five National Museums NI sites, fully delivered by 1 March 2026 • Provide support, maintenance and warranty for the full contract period • Provide training for the equipment
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: A small business may struggle because the contract is a single award covering all seven cabinets at five sites, with a fixed delivery deadline of 1 March 2026 and a four-year minimum term with possible extensions, so any firm would need to be able to deliver and support the work across all locations for the whole period.
Always check the tender documents.
