This initiative is part of the museum's efforts to create stable environmental conditions for the exhibition, running from February to October 2018. The tender was published on 16 November 2017, with submissions due by 6 December 2017. The contract period for the awarded supplier spans from 19 December 2017 to 19 January 2018, and the procurement method employed is an open procedure, classified under goods, specifically CPV code 38420000 for instruments for measuring flow, level, and pressure of liquids and gases. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the environmental control and exhibition services industry. Suppliers offering innovative equipment for environmental conditioning, such as monitoring and control systems for humidity and temperature, will find this a fertile ground for growth. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in providing specialised environmental services and related goods are particularly well-suited to compete in this tender, positioning themselves as key players in supporting major cultural exhibitions and enhancing their market presence. ## Notice 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. Bidders are asked to submit a formal tender for the 'Environmental Conditioning Equipment' The purchase of new environmental control equipment is required to achieve stable environmental conditions, initially to create stable conditions that will allow the delivery of the 'China's First Emperor and the Terracotta Warriors' Exhibition. Subsequently it is intended that the purchased equipment will be used for future temporary exhibitions and urgent environmental control needs across NML's estate. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1bd105e8-a0e2-460f-9964-e3f6e8837def | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | 6 Dec 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Dec 2017 | | Contract period | 19 Dec 2017 - 19 Jan 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £34,628 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL MUSEUMS ON MERSEYSIDE | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L2 2JH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | City Centre North | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | NOVATRON SCIENTIFIC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 38420000 - Instruments for measuring flow, level and pressure of liquids and gases - 38430000 - Detection and analysis apparatus - 38900000 - Miscellaneous evaluation or testing instruments - 90700000 - Environmental services - 92500000 - Library, archives, museums and other cultural services ## Release History - 20 Dec 2017 at 13:39 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1bd105e8-a0e2-460f-9964-e3f6e8837def - 29 Nov 2017 at 08:42 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7778c89-3830-4973-8680-3dbad7bd8779 - 16 Nov 2017 at 16:35 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7778c89-3830-4973-8680-3dbad7bd8779 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1bd105e8-a0e2-460f-9964-e3f6e8837def 20th December 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7778c89-3830-4973-8680-3dbad7bd8779 29th November 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/409b4bdf-8580-417a-9f06-12f6fc363fe8 Tender Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dbfb9173-0447-4a0d-afef-63d0a543ff11 Appendix A - T2 Form of Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/abc96922-8dc4-45c6-809a-09889438da67 Appendix B - NML Procurement Protocol - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/54ce9ede-9ffc-45ea-a4be-1c064c7500ac Appendix C - Overall gallery plan & three detailed plans with elevations - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3457a402-4939-49f1-9e20-596ac210736c Appendix D - Lower Horseshoe Gallery environment 2016-2017 & May-Nov 2015 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7e035286-15c1-457c-b9e6-7566cd51467c Update to the Environmental Control Equipment Tender 20171127 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
