The exhibition will run from 1st October 2023 to 1st April 2024. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the contract period starts on 18th September 2023 and ends on the same day. The total value of the contract is £40,000, and the deadline for tender submissions is 12th July 2023. The procurement falls under the 'Museum services' category and is suited for SMEs. This tender opportunity for the installation of the exhibition presents a chance for businesses in the works industry to showcase their expertise. Companies involved in setworks manufacturing, exhibition installation, painting, and waste disposal could find this tender suitable for their growth. The National Army Museum, as the buying organisation, aims to engage contractors who can deliver the project within the specified timeline and budget, fostering opportunities for collaboration and business expansion in the museum services sector. ## Notice NAM is staging a temporary exhibition 'Shakespeare at War' in the Focus Gallery at the National Army Museum, Chelsea, from 1st October 2023 to 1st April 2024. Based upon research from Kings College London and a subsequent publication, the exhibition explores how the works of Shakespeare have been used at times of war to increase patriotism and national pride, ridicule military opponents and examine the military lessons of the past. NAM wishes to appoint a contractor to install the exhibition in the "Focus Gallery" which is approx. 50 m2. Many elements of the existing 'Road to Recovery' exhibition setworks are being re-used and others need to be disposed of (see Road to Recovery plans Annex G and Annex E). The tender is for the removal of these elements from the Road to Recovery exhibition, the manufacture of all new setworks that constitute the Shakespeare at War Gallery (Annex F) and one additional display case and all build elements as outlined in the attached documents Annex E Pricing Template and the design drawings Annex F (under separate cover). It should also account for painting the walls and cases, but not the ceiling or floor, protection of the floor, delivery to site and ethical disposal of waste. To allow fair comparison of tender returns tenderers are required to complete Annex E - Template for Pricing, which should be read in conjunction with all the design drawings in Annexes F & G. Failure to complete this may render the tender non-compliant and thus not be accepted. The contractor is responsible for confirming measurements from site and will not rely solely on the drawings. Contractors should account for working at the Museum premises within "normal" daytime (0800 - 1700) hours Monday to Friday. OUT OF SCOPE Lighting, AV and graphics by others and not in the scope of this tender. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e9c8a3d-529c-484f-83b7-42bb234d6d15 | | 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 | 16 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jul 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Sep 2023 - 18 Sep 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | 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 - 92521000 - Museum services ## Release History - 16 Jun 2023 at 16:23 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e9c8a3d-529c-484f-83b7-42bb234d6d15 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6e9c8a3d-529c-484f-83b7-42bb234d6d15 16th June 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/16449b8e-1348-40f3-867f-a4b90a766c1d Tender Brief - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/aac91e4a-e3a3-46cf-b7a5-61bc31f25131 Exhibition Build Package - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7fb7429e-9c9d-4251-ba1a-82be433ffdb6 Exhibition Strip out and Items to be retained ## Notice URLs - http://www.nam.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
