## Summary

The Imperial War Museum is initiating a tender for the project titled "Transforming IWM London," focusing on museum-exhibition services, specifically related to the installation of displays for the new Second World War Gallery and Holocaust Gallery. Located in Lambeth Road, London, this process is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 6th September 2019. The total contract value is estimated at £500,000, with a minimum value of £100,000. The contract period is set to commence on 14th October 2019 and will run until 23rd March 2021, employing an open procedure for procurement.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that excel in museum-exhibition services, particularly in display design and fabrication. Businesses capable of managing complex projects in cultural environments will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as the buyer may select different suppliers for each of the two lots despite receiving the best overall tender. Engaging with this project can enhance business visibility and expand operational capacity within the heritage and museum sectors.

## Notice

This Contract covers the appointment of an experienced mount maker to undertake the drawings, manufacture, delivery and installation of the mounts for the new Second World War Gallery ("SWWG") and Holocaust Gallery ("THG") to be opened at IWM London, Lambeth Road, London SE1 6HZ, in February 2021. The Contract is split into two lots: *Lot 1 - Second World War Gallery *Lot 2 - Holocaust Gallery Tenderers can bid for either or both Lots, although subject to the work capacity of the tenderers, IWM reserves the right to select different suppliers for each Lot regardless of whether a tenderer submits the best overall tender for each Lot. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
