This initiative, catalogued under the industry category of Furniture, is set in London, specifically at the IWM Lambeth Road. The tender period concludes on 9 January 2017, with the contract anticipated to start on 1 February 2017 and concluding on 23 March 2017. The project entails a total budget of £100,000, with a minimum contract value of £80,000. This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in furniture design and manufacturing, particularly those capable of delivering tailored storage solutions for art collections. Companies with expertise in creating efficient, aesthetically pleasing storage systems, and those that can demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and the care of heritage assets, will be well-suited to participate. Engaging in this procurement process could enhance a business’s profile within the public sector and foster growth through strategic partnerships with notable institutions. ## Notice The Art Collection is currently stored across three locations at IWM Lambeth Road (LR) and IWM Duxford (DX). The storage strategy underpinning this tender is to increase the capacity for paintings storage in the existing LR art store and centralise the painting collection to one location (the art store at LR). To facilitate this roller racking for storing solander boxes will be relocated to DX. This supports a wider storage project that will reduce the storage footprint at LR and centralise storage at DX to enable an increase in the public gallery offer at LR. The wider storage project involves an investment of PS6.9 million to make (80%) of our collections storage fit for purpose in the next three years. The project relocates 90% of collection storage to DX and 10% (painting collection) of storage remains at LR. The main aims of the project are: 1. Care of the collection 2. Long term care and sustainability of the heritage buildings, landscape and infrastructure 3. Affordable, efficient and sustainable investment of public money Additional information: Please follow instructions contained within the ITT letter to arrange a site visit, submit any questions and submit your tender by the return date of 9 January ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/868578c3-d275-4704-b9b5-f37310366416 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Nov 2016 | | Submission deadline | 9 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2017 - 23 Mar 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM TRADING COMPANY LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 6HZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | St George's | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products ### Codes - 39000000 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products ## Release History - 30 Nov 2016 at 09:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/868578c3-d275-4704-b9b5-f37310366416 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/868578c3-d275-4704-b9b5-f37310366416 30th November 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/81d876fd-1b8b-4702-8b18-4bab0b2bc559 Tender document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e47e5c6a-386a-4ded-8ba6-8b77a682054b ITT letter - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0a307c8e-2159-45c6-9ec0-822b5e9dfd40 Art Store Brief - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c36c6858-674f-44bd-8d57-deb198fa4cf5 Art Store Current Layout ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
