### Lot Information

Lot 1

National Museums Scotland (NMS) is seeking to engage the services of an experienced museum display case specialist contractor to carry out the technical design, fabrication and installation of 45 display cases including dressing, cores and at the National Museum of Scotland (NMoS) in Chambers Street, Edinburgh. The cases will be bespoke cases required to comply with the specification, conservation, access and security requirements as further defined in the Invitation to Tender documents. The display case Contractor must be able to demonstrate recent experience in detailed design, technical design, development, manufacture and installation of cases in live operational museum / historic buildings environments. Masterplan Phase 4 (Revealing Cultures) will create two new galleries showcasing our world-class collections relating to ancient Egypt and three major East Asian cultures - China, Japan and Korea. Ancient Egypt Rediscovered and Exploring East Asia will display a wide range of material from our collections inviting visitors to explore these cultures and civilisations, reinterpreting the familiar and revealing the unknown. These galleries will encourage our audiences to question and challenge their existing perceptions of histories and societies, skills that are essential to education and negotiating the wider modern world. Revealing Cultures will mark the completion of the 15 year Masterplan to redevelop the National Museum of Scotland. The threads of innovation, discovery and internationalism bound by a vision of showing the world to Scotland lie at the heart of the National Museum of Scotland Masterplan. Revealing Cultures will build on the development and reinterpretation of other elements of our World Cultures collections that was so successfully undertaken in 2011 as part of our Royal Museum Project.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
