The tender deadline for applications is 28/11/22, with an estimated 200 hours of work to be carried out off-site in London and the South East, starting in December 2022 and completing by January 2023. This tender offers opportunities for conservation contractors holding accredited status, particularly in the library, archives, museums, and cultural services industry category. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete in this open tender below threshold procedure, providing a chance for business growth through the specialised conservation work required by the National Army Museum. ## Notice The National Army Museum (NAM) wishes to appoint a conservation company or individual conservator ('the conservator') to conserve and mount or frame 52 paper items in preparation for their display in the Museum from February 2023. 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). Of the 52 Items , 47 have had recent condition assessments with treatment recommendations and time estimates. This contract will involve undertaking the conservation of the items (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); packing in existing boxes/crates provided by the NAM for collection and return transport. The tender cost is to include insurance both at the company's premises and transportation to and from NAM premises. This contract is for approx. 200 hours work and due to space constraints is to be carried out off site by the conservator. It is anticipated that the work would start by December 2022. The NAM asks that all work be completed by order of gallery installation as specified by the deadlines. NAM will provide existing condition assessments and full descriptions of the objects. Attached at Annex A As this contract is for a fixed number of hours, tenders may be made without viewing the objects beforehand. The deadline for submission of tender applications is 28/11/22 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e45b4ffa-de96-4cb1-9609-a8692c9021b0 | | 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 | 7 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | 28 Nov 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2022 - 30 Jan 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £9,500 | | 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 | TLI London, TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92500000 - Library, archives, museums and other cultural services ## Release History - 7 Nov 2022 at 12:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e45b4ffa-de96-4cb1-9609-a8692c9021b0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e45b4ffa-de96-4cb1-9609-a8692c9021b0 7th November 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/918d1509-0776-429a-8759-42c16d151155 Tender Brief - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e602c442-ead6-478a-aae2-63495e585b29 Annex A ## Notice URLs - http://www.nam.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
