This procurement falls under the cultural services industry category, specifically related to museum and archival works. The tender period concludes on 14th September 2020, with the contract period set to start on 15th September and end on 10th November 2020. The total contract value is £7,500, and the procurement method is an open procedure below threshold, allowing for broader participation. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in graphic design, printing, and exhibition installation. Companies that can demonstrate experience in cultural or artistic projects would be particularly well-suited to compete. As the National Army Museum seeks to create impactful visual narratives through the exhibition, potential contractors who can deliver innovative graphic solutions will find ample opportunities for business growth in this initiative. ## Notice 2020 marks the centenary of the burial of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey. The National Army Museum (NAM) is commemorating this event with an exhibition at the Museum that runs from 19th October 2020 - 14th February 2021 entitled Buried Among Kings: The Story of the Unknown Warrior. In early November, we will have a pop- up exhibition at Victoria Station for 8 days on our clever frame system from 9th - 16th November. The National Army Museum wishes to appoint a graphics contractor to print and install graphics for the National Army Museum's temporary exhibition and for the Victoria Station pop up as detailed on Annex A, the Graphic Schedule. The value of the tender is PS8,100 for the entire package and responses should be broken down and detailed against each element in the column marked 'Cost' on Annex A. The exhibition at the Museum is divided into 13 sections which chart the journey of the Unknown Warrior from the requirement to appease families whose relatives bodies could not be repatriated after WWI, the selection of the body and the journey home to England. The exhibition also looks at commemoration through the development of the Cenotaph, which acted as a focus for the grief of the nation, through to village war memorials to local soldiers. By contrast the Victoria Station exhibition, is routed in the train journey that was undertaken on 20 November 1920 when the carriage carrying the Unknown Soldier arrived at Platform 8 at 8.32pm. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fb69e14b-866a-4fd4-aae5-7f5e42ff7653 | | 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 | 19 Aug 2020 | | Submission deadline | 14 Sep 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Sep 2020 - 10 Nov 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £7,500 | | 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 - 92500000 - Library, archives, museums and other cultural services ## Release History - 19 Aug 2020 at 15:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fb69e14b-866a-4fd4-aae5-7f5e42ff7653 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fb69e14b-866a-4fd4-aae5-7f5e42ff7653 19th August 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4d6414b3-1064-496f-963c-91164d79e5bc Brief - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/608f5b09-9ac1-4ba6-acae-a3204b0b29e9 Graphic Schedule - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4b73e758-e873-4f4b-a000-9219d91049ba Gallery Plan and Elevations - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dd2d11ef-5b16-4939-9d94-112910af8cd8 Drawings of Victoria Station Pop Up ## Notice URLs - http://www.nam.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
