Notice Title

Paper Object Conservation

Notice Description

The National Army Museum (NAM) wishes to appoint a conservation company or individual conservator ('the conservator') to conserve and mount or frame 52 paper items in preparation for their display in the Museum from February 2023. 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). Of the 52 Items , 47 have had recent condition assessments with treatment recommendations and time estimates. This contract will involve undertaking the conservation of the items (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); packing in existing boxes/crates provided by the NAM for collection and return transport. The tender cost is to include insurance both at the company's premises and transportation to and from NAM premises. This contract is for approx. 200 hours work and due to space constraints is to be carried out off site by the conservator. It is anticipated that the work would start by December 2022. The NAM asks that all work be completed by order of gallery installation as specified by the deadlines. NAM will provide existing condition assessments and full descriptions of the objects. Attached at Annex A As this contract is for a fixed number of hours, tenders may be made without viewing the objects beforehand. The deadline for submission of tender applications is 28/11/22
