This procurement falls under the category of "Hire of goods-transport vehicles with driver" and is based in Duxford, England. The tender period concludes on 8th March 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 1st May 2017 and continue until 15th November 2018. This project involves the movement of film archive collections within renovated cold storage facilities at IWM Duxford, part of a wider strategy to centralise storage and enhance exhibition offerings at their London branches. This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses in the logistics and archival transportation sector, particularly those that are small and medium enterprises (SMEs) due to the specified suitability criteria. Companies with expertise in handling sensitive collections, as well as transport firms knowledgeable about temperature-controlled environments, would be well suited to compete for this contract.

The storage strategy underpinning this tender is to renovate the cold storage buildings at Duxford and relocate collections from London to Duxford. One cold store at Duxford is currently empty and being renovated. The empty building will be used as swing space to enable two further buildings to be decanted and renovated. At the end of the building renovation programme the larger building will be used to store photographic collections from London. The work supports a wider storage project to centralise storage at IWM DX to enable an increase in the public gallery offer at London branches.
