This procurement falls under the cultural services industry category and is due to the open tender methodology. The tender period is set to conclude on 4 February 2022, with the contract period expected to commence on 7 February 2022 and run until 31 March 2022. The project is located in the East of England, specifically in Stevenage, and the estimated value of the contract is £10,000. This contract presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the conservation sector to expand their portfolio and gain valuable experience with high-profile clients. Businesses with expertise in frame conservation, especially those that hold or are pursuing the Professional Accreditation of Conservator-Restorers (PACR), would be well-suited to compete. The requirement for detailed documentation and treatment recommendations makes this tender particularly relevant for contractors who excel in thorough reporting and quality workmanship. ## Notice The National Army Museum (NAM) wishes to appoint a conservation company or individual conservator ('the conservator') for the conservation of 20 frames as outlined in the attached spreadsheet. 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). All the works have had recent condition assessments with treatment recommendations and time estimates. The estimates are included within the Annex C spreadsheet. 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). This contract is for approx. 110 hours work and is ideally to be carried out either on site in Stevenage or offsite by the conservator at their studio and as such a UKRG security supplement will be required. It is anticipated that the work would start in February 2022 and be completed by the end of March 2022. Additional information: Clarification 1 - Conservators are not required to attend site if they feel confident that they can provide a cost for the works without a visit. Clarification 2 - Quotes must remain open for 90 days Clarification 3 - The title of the Project is Global Gallery Picture Frame Conservation ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2464f5d-c945-4cca-a424-dc2bb5f380e4 | | 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 | 24 Jan 2022 | | Submission deadline | 4 Feb 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Feb 2022 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000 | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92500000 - Library, archives, museums and other cultural services ## Release History - 24 Jan 2022 at 12:55 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2464f5d-c945-4cca-a424-dc2bb5f380e4 - 21 Jan 2022 at 14:23 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2464f5d-c945-4cca-a424-dc2bb5f380e4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2464f5d-c945-4cca-a424-dc2bb5f380e4 24th January 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ac1843ba-e521-4186-9b9f-64e6d77b7d8c Tender Brief - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c66bedd0-b59d-49b5-bac0-1aad8be9c719 Frames Conservation Report and Tender Pricing Template ## Notice URLs - http://www.nam.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
