Notice Information

Notice Title

MOUNT MAKING CONTRACT

Notice Description

HES requires specialist mount making services primarily, but not exclusively, for its historic collections held at Properties in Care throughout Scotland. These collections vary greatly in size, material and theme. Examples include small archaeological finds, large carved stones, artillery, books and archival material etc. HES hold material associated with over 160 properties across Scotland.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The scale of mount making required will vary from site to site. Some projects may only require one object to be mounted. Larger projects may require over 100 objects to be mounted. Project priorities are fast changing and the mount maker needs to be adaptable to this. The contract requires the Supplier to carry out work both off and on site. Approximately 25% of Historic Environment Scotland's collections are comprised of stone, which range in size and weight. When working with these collections, the mount maker may be required to work alongside Historic Environment Scotland's Applied Conservation and Monument Conservation teams in order to access and move objects. Experience of setting up and using lifting equipment and scaffolding is essential, as is a knowledge of the relevant health and safety legislation that covers this type of work.

Renewal: There will be an option to extend for up to a further 24 months, reviewed annually.
