The procurement falls under the construction industry category, specifically classified as construction work and museum-exhibition services. The tender period concluded on 27th September 2017, following an open procurement method which facilitated bids from various suppliers. The contract is expected to commence on 16th October 2017 and last until 12th January 2018. This project is linked to a major exhibition scheduled from February to October 2018 at the World Museum, showcasing artefacts from China's First Emperor, Qin Shihuangdi.

## Notice

Please note new end date of September 27th due to availability of new documents: Terracotta Warriors Exhibition Setworks Tender (updated21sept17) Appendix L7 - additional drawing 47 mausoleum Appendix H NML Exhibition Set Works Preliminaries Appendix J - Exhibition Setworks Tender Drawing Issue Register 22 Sept17 Appendix K - Schedule of Works and Pricing Sheet 22Sept17 Bidders are asked to submit a formal tender for the "NML Terracotta Warriors Set Works" The exhibition will be held in the William Brown Room and the Lower Horse Shoe Gallery at World Museum in Liverpool. The gallery space is approximately 1000sqm. We require joinery set works to be constructed and installed throughout the exhibition space including wall and ceiling structures, dividing screens and plinths. The walling will house display cases and air ventilation units provided by different contractors. We are staging a major exhibition at World Museum from February to October 2018 which will showcase national treasures from the tomb of China's First Emperor, Qin Shihuangdi. This is the first time in more than 30 years that such an exhibition has been brought to a museum in the UK outside London. Visitors will be given a glimpse into the extraordinary story of Qin Shihuangdi, the First Emperor of China (221 to 210 BC). Fragments of clay from his vast burial site were unearthed near Xi'an in North West China in 1974 and subsequently led to the discovery of the now famous terracotta warriors. The Emperor's terracotta warriors will be shown alongside other spectacular artefacts dating from the 6th century BC to the 3nd century AD, along with remarkable new archaeological discoveries. They shed light on the pursuit of immortality and preparations for the afterlife amongst ruling families but also help us to understand more about the imperial court and everyday life in Ancient China. The exhibition will be a major tourist attraction during Liverpool's 2018 celebrations, marking 10 years since the city held the title of European Capital of Culture in 2008
