## Summary

The Birmingham Museums Trust is currently undertaking a tender process for the "Provision of Collections Decant Service," aimed at engaging a skilled contractor for the packing and transportation of collections from Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery to various off-site locations, with services expected to conclude by June 2022. The tender is classified under the "Museum services" category and falls under an open procurement method. Interested parties should submit their bids by 12:00 on 5th July 2021, while the contract period is set to commence on 27th September 2021 and continue until 26th September 2023. The primary location for delivery is within the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for logistics and transport businesses with experience in museum or sensitive collection handling. Companies specialising in museum services, storage, and transportation are particularly well-suited to compete, given the specific requirements of safely managing and moving art collections. Successful bidders could gain long-term engagement with a prominent cultural institution, thereby enhancing their reputation and portfolio in public sector contracts.

## Notice

Birmingham Museums Trust seeks to procure the services of a suitably skilled and experienced contractor to undertake the packing and transportation of collections from Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery ('BMAG') to three off-site locations, before June 2022; and their subsequent return from two of these locations back to BMAG's premises during 2023.
