Summary of the contracting process

The National Museums On Merseyside has initiated the "NML Terracotta Warrior Exhibition Display Cases and Interior Staging Tender" to procure, deliver, and install 13 display cases and 29 case interiors for a major exhibition scheduled to run from February to October 2018 at the World Museum in Liverpool. This significant exhibition will feature artefacts from China's First Emperor, Qin Shihuangdi, marking a historic event as it is the first of its kind to be hosted outside London in over 30 years. The tender period concluded on 25 August 2017, and the contract period spans from 8 September 2017 to 13 December 2017. This procurement follows an open procedure, inviting multiple suppliers to contribute to the aesthetic and practical staging of the exhibition.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the furniture manufacturing and exhibition services sectors, particularly those specialising in museum-quality display solutions. Companies that can demonstrate experience in creating bespoke display cases and exhibit staging will be well-placed to compete, especially those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Given the high-profile nature of the exhibition, suppliers can also benefit from enhanced visibility and potential collaborations within the cultural sector, aligning with Liverpool's celebrations as a major tourist destination in 2018.

Notice Title

NML Terracotta Warrior Exhibition Display Cases and Interior Staging Tender

Notice Description

Bidders are asked to submit a formal tender for the "NML Terracotta Warrior Exhibition Display Cases and Interior Staging". 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 Shihuangdi. 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. We are inviting tenders to produce, deliver and install 13 display cases and 29 case interiors for this exhibition. It will be located on the 2nd floor of World Museum, William Brown Street, L3 8EN We are looking to procure 13 new exhibition cases with interior staging to display a variety of archaeological finds from Ancient China. The cases must meet NML's display case specifications and match the quality and style of our existing suite of display cases. We also require interior staging for 16 of our existing cases.
