## Summary

The Preston City Council is initiating a tender for the project titled "Collections movement and storage for the 'Harris Your Place' Project," classified under museum services and with an estimated value of £400,000. The procurement, which follows an open procedure, is currently in the planning stage, with a tender period that ends on 5th November 2021. The project aims to facilitate the movement and storage of collections from the Harris building to alternative premises, including the Museum of Lancashire and the University of Central Lancashire, due to major capital works funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and other contributors. The project will commence on 14th January 2022 and is scheduled to conclude by 31st July 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in museum services and logistics, particularly those with expertise in collection handling, de-installation, and transportation. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as they may have the adaptability and local knowledge beneficial for the successful execution of this project. Companies involved in art conservation, museum management, and storage services would find this tender particularly relevant, allowing them to expand their portfolio and engage with a prominent public sector client in the cultural heritage field.

## Notice

In March 2021 Preston City Council was awarded PS4.5m from the National Lottery Heritage Fund for the delivery of the PS10.02m Harris Your Place project. Other funders include Preston City Council, Lancashire County Council, Arts Council England, City Deal, Trusts and Foundations, and private donors. To enable major capital works to be delivered, all collections will be moved out of the Harris building and re-stored in alternative premises. Collections will be moved to the Museum of Lancashire and the University of Central Lancashire (see Appendices ** and ** for the list of collections and city centre location map). There is also a requirement for additional storage for selected art works that forms part of these schedule of services (See appendix ** for full schedule of services). The Harris requires a supplier to support the de-installation, handling, condition checking, packing, and transport of collections from the Harris to storage locations. Further support will be required to unpack and re-store the collections at new storage locations.
