## Summary

The National Army Museum is currently facilitating a procurement process for its "Building for the Future" project, specifically for the design, supply, and installation of mannequins. This tender, identified as MT171689, is categorised under the exhibition equipment industry and is located in London, England. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 16 March 2016. The contract period for the successful bidder will commence on 5 April 2016 and will continue until 30 September 2016. This project has a budget value of £110,000, with a minimum value of £80,000, and aims to support the museum's substantial redevelopment alongside the opening deadline towards the end of 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in exhibition design and installation, especially those with experience in museum environments. Given the requirement for a collaborative and imaginative approach, companies that can demonstrate innovative solutions and sustainable practices will be particularly well-suited to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, given the tender's suitability criteria, making this an opportune moment for such businesses to leverage their unique capabilities in an esteemed cultural project.

## Notice

The National Army Museum (NAM) is undergoing a substantial redevelopment through the Building for the Future project. As part of this, five new galleries will be created plus an introductory area and various display opportunities throughout the building. NAM is therefore inviting tenders from Mannequins Contractors to carry out the design, supply and installation of the mannequins required as part of the redevelopment. Please see the Tender Documents for more information. The Mannequins Contractor must be able to demonstrate recent experience in design, supply and installation of Mannequins in Museum or similar environments. The Mannequins Contractor will need to be able to share the NAM and the Design Team's vision which will transform the spaces into ideal locations to display a diverse range of NAM's collections combining sensitivity to the building and the collections with an imaginative, sustainable, collaborative and transformative approach. The Exhibition Designer for the project is Event Communications and the Project Manager and Quantity Surveyor is Focus Consultants. The new National Army Museum is due to open towards the end of 2016 and therefore all Mannequins must be completed and installed by Autumn 2016. There will need to be careful coordination with the exhibition fit out contractor, the Hub. Note that this is a voluntary notice for below-threshold services and does not, therefore, conform to OJEU timescales.
