This procurement falls under the "Library, archives, museums and other cultural services" category and has a total value of £15,000. The tender period concludes on 14 February 2022, with the subsequent contract expected to commence on 15 February 2022 and run until 6 May 2022. This open procurement process allows a range of qualified bidders to submit proposals, with work to be executed primarily at the museum's facility in Chelsea, following necessary measurements at the storage site in Stevenage. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in mount-making and related display solutions, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with prior experience in museum or gallery contexts. Suitable competitors should possess the capacity to manage the entire process from initial assessments and measurements to installing the mounts on-site, including adaptations based on specific objects. Additionally, companies able to facilitate site visits and dedicated on-site installation responsibilities are encouraged to participate, aligning with the National Army Museum's requirements for high-quality craftsmanship and adaptability. ## Notice The National Army Museum is currently carrying out a programme of refreshment of some of its galleries. As part of this works, there is a requirement to reconfigure what will become the Global Gallery requiring additional display cases and existing cases to be re-organised. This will necessitate additional objects and associated mounts to be installed. This tender is for the manufacture of mounts to receive/display the objects. The Museum is looking for suitably experienced and qualified mount maker/s to carry out this work. Access to Objects Requiring Mounts The objects are currently located at the NAM storage facility in Stevenage. It is important that the successful tenderer includes financial provision for attending site in Stevenage to measure the objects prior to manufacture and also to measure them in Stevenage after manufacture, to ensure they fit the objects before coming to site for install in Chelsea. In a separate line, please also account for attendance to fit mounts on site for 5 days in Chelsea. Contractors are to note that there is no workshop space at the main NAM off-site storage facility in Stevenage, and there is currently no hot works permit or heat/extraction facility for working with metal. The contractor will need to describe their approach to the mount-making process including object assessments, measurement taking, mount making, checking the mount with the object prior to transfer to the museum site, and allowance within the tender price and time allocation for on-site installation of object mounts. NAM will need to see a breakdown from the contractor of the allowance for on-site work during object installation and what the approach of the successful contractor would be to making changes to mounts during this period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7e565237-a6ff-42b9-9699-4f495c562fc4 | | 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 | 29 Jan 2022 | | Submission deadline | 14 Feb 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Feb 2022 - 6 May 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000 | | 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 | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92500000 - Library, archives, museums and other cultural services ## Release History - 29 Jan 2022 at 12:25 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7e565237-a6ff-42b9-9699-4f495c562fc4 - 25 Jan 2022 at 16:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7e565237-a6ff-42b9-9699-4f495c562fc4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7e565237-a6ff-42b9-9699-4f495c562fc4 29th January 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3db9b0ae-d7ea-495c-956f-c947a895b58b Tender Brief and Submission Details - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/95b292e7-6b05-4b17-9d3b-061d9d0a962f Object Mounts Schedule Annex A - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ecdda10e-b855-4c47-9e9d-a08bf0e9892a Object Mount Type - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/918917b6-1385-467a-ac76-5fcc507925aa Object Mounts Type - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e58a322f-cbe4-45d1-88ee-6fa2b624edb7 Object Mount Type - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ucn1cee4axi6twq/AABxnMEjfI95gNhWA3Ax-tqsa?dl=0 Case Layouts - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f10200ae-9993-4132-aac5-02a226110a66 Case Layout 2 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/dd6d9802-0ae8-42b6-899f-ccc64cff52d6 Case Layout 3 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a3aacc0f-c89e-47dd-ac12-4c20741b0534 Mount Type 13 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5f7ff5a3-1748-40b4-9b9b-814fe0760a3f Mount Type 23 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fc71a51f-ce4d-45cc-9ec8-bccf753005b7 Mount Type 33 ## Notice URLs - http://nam.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
