The procurement stage is currently in the Tender phase, with the deadline for submissions set for 26th February 2024. This opportunity falls under the industry category of Museum-exhibition services and has a contract period running from 1st April 2024 to 1st July 2024. This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for construction companies specialising in museum installations or exhibition services. With a budget of £150,000, this open procedure (below threshold) allows SMEs to actively participate. Businesses capable of delivering intricate refurbishments and bespoke showcase installations are well-suited to compete for this contract, which involves gallery refurbishment, construction, and painting works. ## Notice The permanent gallery, 'Soldier' at the National Army Museum (NAM) is frequently cited as the most popular permanent gallery by our visitors. The layout of the gallery will not change, but we are taking this opportunity to rotate exhibits and remedy some issues that have arisen with the original gallery fit out. The floor screed has developed numerous cracks and this will be re-laid by a specialist contractor and dose not form part of this tender. However, as a result, the wooden plinths around the existing display cases need to be dismantled (see Annex F: Soldier Gallery Fit Out & Related Works - published separately) and the display cases moved to the areas noted on page 3, Annex F, to allow for remedial works to the floor. The dismantling of the display case plinths and the removal of the cases to elsewhere in the gallery form part of this tender. Once the floor is repaired, the display cases will be returned to their former positions and the plinths will be re-instated. This also forms part of this tender. Another aspect of the tender includes cutting an access section with shadow gaps into12 of the existing plinths to allow for easier access see Annex F page 7. The Museum will be installing a new showcase which will be made by a specialist company and does not form part of this tender. However, it will require a wooden plinth (see Annex G under separate cover). It is essential that the main build contractor works closely with the manufacturer of the new display case. Painting of the gallery throughout is required and this will be undertaken in two phases, see painting plan Annex F page 5 under separate cover. Objects will be re-instated in the painted areas. All works are detailed fully in the Tender Brief. NAM wishes to appoint a contractor to fulfil the scope above and outlined in the attached document Annex E Template for Pricing (under separate cover), which should be read in conjunction with all the drawings in Annex F (under separate cover). The contractor is responsible for taking their own measurements from site. The budget is in the region of PS150,000 excl vat (one hundred and fifty thousand pounds sterling). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da66969b-95ab-45cf-a3ec-0039e8251c27 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 26 Feb 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2024 - 1 Jul 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £150,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL ARMY MUSEUM | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW3 4HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Royal Hospital | | Westminster constituency | Chelsea and Fulham | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92521100 - Museum-exhibition services ## Release History - 29 Jan 2024 at 17:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da66969b-95ab-45cf-a3ec-0039e8251c27 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da66969b-95ab-45cf-a3ec-0039e8251c27 29th January 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/619340a9-2071-41bb-be6d-30a9d91ae272 Tender Brief - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c6b1e1c5-ca74-43d9-8080-197df271c55a Annex F - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7848b9e1-5c51-476e-87bb-422e87fb7d08 Annex G ## Notice URLs - http://www.nam.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
