Summary of the contracting process

The National Army Museum (NAM) is seeking to appoint a conservator for the "Global Gallery Picture Frames Conservation" project, aiming to conserve 20 frames. This procurement falls under the cultural services industry category and is due to the open tender methodology. The tender period is set to conclude on 4 February 2022, with the contract period expected to commence on 7 February 2022 and run until 31 March 2022.

Notice Description

The National Army Museum (NAM) wishes to appoint a conservation company or individual conservator ('the conservator') for the conservation of 20 frames as outlined in the attached spreadsheet. Tender submissions are requested from suitably qualified and experienced contractors. It is beneficial, though not essential, for the conservator to hold accredited status (PACR - Professional Accreditation of Conservator-Restorers).

This contract will involve undertaking the conservation of the objects (following discussion and approval of all treatments by the NAM); full documentation, including written reports and photographs, relating to the treatment of each object (sent to the NAM on completion of the project). This contract is for approx. 110 hours work and is ideally to be carried out either on site in Stevenage or offsite by the conservator at their studio and as such a UKRG security supplement will be required. It is anticipated that the work would start in February 2022 and be completed by the end of March 2022. Additional information: Clarification 1 - Conservators are not required to attend site if they feel confident that they can provide a cost for the works without a visit. Clarification 2 - Quotes must remain open for 90 days Clarification 3 - The title of the Project is Global Gallery Picture Frame Conservation
