Notice Title

Global Gallery Object Mount Tender

Notice Description

The National Army Museum is currently carrying out a programme of refreshment of some of its galleries. As part of this works, there is a requirement to reconfigure what will become the Global Gallery requiring additional display cases and existing cases to be re-organised. This will necessitate additional objects and associated mounts to be installed. This tender is for the manufacture of mounts to receive/display the objects. The Museum is looking for suitably experienced and qualified mount maker/s to carry out this work. Access to Objects Requiring Mounts The objects are currently located at the NAM storage facility in Stevenage. It is important that the successful tenderer includes financial provision for attending site in Stevenage to measure the objects prior to manufacture and also to measure them in Stevenage after manufacture, to ensure they fit the objects before coming to site for install in Chelsea. In a separate line, please also account for attendance to fit mounts on site for 5 days in Chelsea. Contractors are to note that there is no workshop space at the main NAM off-site storage facility in Stevenage, and there is currently no hot works permit or heat/extraction facility for working with metal. The contractor will need to describe their approach to the mount-making process including object assessments, measurement taking, mount making, checking the mount with the object prior to transfer to the museum site, and allowance within the tender price and time allocation for on-site installation of object mounts. NAM will need to see a breakdown from the contractor of the allowance for on-site work during object installation and what the approach of the successful contractor would be to making changes to mounts during this period.
