Notice Title

HRP Dress Showcases for Exhibition at Banqueting House, Whitehall

Notice Description

HRP are seeking a flexible, modular, sustainable demountable solution for our dress showcases at the Banqueting House. These showcases will be used for an exhibition opening in March 2027 and will then be de-rigged and re-used and re-configured for future exhibitions. HRP requires a suite of modular demountable dress cases that can fit together to flex up or down on size depending on configuration. Minimum footprint 900mm x 900mm and minimum height 2200mm. We would ideally like some 1500 x 1500 modules with seamless pane of glass, however, we would consider using 4 x 900 x 900 modules as an alternative to this. LED lighting is required for both top & bottom of cases. The use of display cases allows HRP to enable the public to access objects that might otherwise be too fragile or precious to exhibit. The cases are required to provide both physical and environmental protection for the objects and to display them beautifully for visitors. A detailed specification will be provided in the tender.
