Description
The current permanent Battle Gallery is being represented with new displays and a new storyline. It will be called the Conflict in Europe Gallery and will open to the public on 7 April 2023.
The new gallery will explore the large-scale European wars, it will be enlarged, incorporate five new display cases as well as utilising some existing cases. The Museum wishes to employ a suitably qualified and experienced mount maker to assist in the installation of the gallery, in particular, the manufacture and positioning mounts for the display items. There will be many objects in the gallery requiring mounts to be made from scratch and a number of objects that are re-using existing mounts these have been denoted on Annex A - Mount List. At this stage, the layouts of case is still being finalised, but, the Museum is asking tenderers to provide a price for mounts fixed at the base of the case and mounts fixed to the back of the cases. This will give the Museum the choice between the two display methods - please refer to mount type field on Annex A. Final case layouts will be available from 20th July and will be sent to the successful tenderer. In the costs, the mount maker will also need to account for measuring of objects at our Stevenage store and Chelsea Museum, both prior to making the mounts and after making to ensure they fit the objects seamlessly. The mount maker should also allow for attendance on site for around 6 weeks to fit the mounts on site during the installation of objects phase as noted in para 4. Programme below, of this document. They will work alongside the Museum's team of conservators and collections staff.
The fee is in the region of £42,000 inclusive.
