The tender, titled "Mixed Media Conservation T13", falls under the cultural services industry and is valued at £20,000. Interested parties are required to submit their applications by 30 September 2016, 4:00 PM. The conservator will operate off-site due to space limitations and is expected to document all treatments comprehensively. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in conservation services, particularly those with experience in cultural heritage. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, especially if they possess relevant qualifications or accreditation, such as the Professional Accreditation of Conservator-Restorers (PACR). The scope of this project offers a chance to engage with a prestigious institution while demonstrating expertise in object conservation, potentially leading to further collaborations in the arts and heritage sector. ## Notice The National Army Museum (NAM) wishes to appoint a conservation company or individual conservator ('the conservator') to conserve 53 objects in preparation for their display in the museum from Spring 2017. Tender submissions are requested from suitably qualified and experienced contractors. It is beneficial, though not essential, for the conservator to hold accredited status (PACR - Professional Accreditation of Conservator-Restorers). Of the 53 objects, all have had recent condition assessments with treatment recommendations and time estimates. This contract will involve undertaking the conservation of the objects (following discussion and approval of all treatments by the NAM); full documentation, including written reports and photographs, relating to the treatment of each object (sent to the NAM on completion of the project); packing in existing boxes/crates provided by the NAM for return transport. This contract is for approx. 579 hours work and due to space constraints is to be carried out off site by the conservator. It is anticipated that the work would start by October 2016. The NAM asks that all work be completed by order of gallery installation as specified by the deadlines. We will provide existing condition assessments, images and full descriptions of the objects. As this contract is for a fixed number of hours, tenders may be made without viewing the objects beforehand. The deadline for submission of tender applications is Friday 30 September at 1600hrs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/419cd567-ca0c-4107-9bac-ec66e1ba46b8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 30 Sep 2016 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Oct 2016 - 13 Feb 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | 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 | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92500000 - Library, archives, museums and other cultural services ## Release History - 18 Nov 2016 at 20:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/419cd567-ca0c-4107-9bac-ec66e1ba46b8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/419cd567-ca0c-4107-9bac-ec66e1ba46b8 12th September 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.nam.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
