Parliament's Heritage Collections and conservation work contracts
Parliament’s Heritage Collections are home to more than 26,000 objects that help us to understand the history of Parliament and tell its many stories. The unique collection comprises the Parliamentary Art Collection, the Historic Furniture and Decorative Arts Collection and the Architectural Fabric Collection.
Parliament and the Restoration and Renewal Delivery Authority plan to offer contracts to carry out day to day and programme-based conservation work across the Palace of Westminster and the Parliamentary estate. This work will support core heritage collections activity as well as informing planning for the restoration of the Palace of Westminster.
The Collections Conservation Dynamic Purchasing System (CCDPS)
The Collections Conservation Dynamic Purchasing System (CCDPS) makes bidding for work more accessible by streamlining the bidding process and creating a pre-qualified pool of suppliers that are automatically alerted to any new contract opportunities.
We are inviting skilled heritage professionals to apply to join the new dynamic purchasing system. Once on the system, you’ll then be eligible to bid for work with both Parliament and the R&R Programme. The system will continue to be open to new joiners throughout its lifetime, unlike traditional procurement systems which are not accessible to new entrants after a set period. Feedback on applications will be provided to all who apply.
Register to the CCDPS
Register on the Jaggaer portal. After 6 October you will be able to express interest in the CCDPS which will be displayed under ‘Current Opportunities’ on the Jaggaer portal.
Further support
We're committed to supporting conservators and other specialists to apply to the CCDPS. We have produced a support guide to help you with registering on Jaggaer. In addition, we have produced a list of service categories to help you understand what future work may be available.
Online engagement event
We're also holding an online engagement event on Wednesday 20 November for those interested in the CCDPS and in bidding for contracts to learn more about the conservation work and procurement process. Please register here if you would like to attend.
The recording will be available on our website after the event.
