Summary of the contracting process

The National Museums On Merseyside has initiated the 'Terracotta Warriors Exhibition Graphics Tender', aimed at producing and installing high-quality exhibition graphics for a significant exhibition at the World Museum in Liverpool. The procurement is in the award stage, with the tender having been published on 5th October 2017 and initially open until 18th October 2017, following an open procurement method below the threshold. The contract period is set to commence on 27th October 2017, concluding on 10th January 2018. This exhibition, showcasing artefacts from the tomb of China's First Emperor, will be a major cultural event in Liverpool from February to October 2018, enhancing the city's appeal as a tourist destination.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in exhibition design and installation, graphic design, and associated printing services. Given the scale and prestige of the exhibition, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver high-quality visual solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete. The showcase is expected to attract a significant number of visitors, thus providing a lucrative platform for businesses aiming to enhance their portfolios and gain visibility in the cultural sector.

Notice Title

National Museums Liverpool Terracotta Warriors Exhibition Graphics Tender

Notice Description

Bidders are asked to submit a formal tender for the "Terracotta Warriors Exhibition Graphics". We require a contractor to produce and install a series of high quality exhibition graphics in varying formats for this high profile exhibition. This includes lightboxes, fabric banners, vinyl lettering, Perspex labels, 3d lettering and duratrans. We are staging a major exhibition at World Museum from February to October 2018 which will showcase national treasures from the tomb of China's First Emperor, Qin Shi Huangdi. This is the first time in more than 30 years that such an exhibition has been brought to a museum in the UK outside London. Visitors will be given a glimpse into the extraordinary story of Qin Shihuangdi, the First Emperor of China (221 to 210 BC). Fragments of clay from his vast burial site were unearthed near Xi'an in North West China in 1974 and subsequently led to the discovery of the now famous terracotta warriors. The Emperor's terracotta warriors will be shown alongside other spectacular artefacts dating from the 6th century BC to the 3nd century AD, along with remarkable new archaeological discoveries. They shed light on the pursuit of immortality and preparations for the afterlife amongst ruling families but also help us to understand more about the imperial court and everyday life in Ancient China. The exhibition will be a major tourist attraction during Liverpool's 2018 celebrations, marking 10 years since the city held the title of European Capital of Culture in 2008.
