Description
The National Army Museum (NAM) (the Client) wishes to appoint a suitably qualified transport agent (the Company) experienced at working with historic museum collections.
The National Army Museum currently has two galleries called Battle and Society, which are being redisplayed shortly. In the scope of this brief, the NAM wishes to appoint a suitably qualified fine art transport agent to remove items from both galleries, pack and return them to NAM's stores at Stevenage. This amounts to 859 objects across both galleries. Most of the objects will be decanted and packed by NAM's conservators, however there are several items that require decanting by the transport agent, due to their weight, size, or displayed at height. There are also several items that require packing crates manufactured for transportation. These details can be found in the attached Annexes, which are under separate cover and should be read in conjunction with this brief, to form your tender response. The Museum requires the transport agent to return all items in Annex B to their store in Stevenage, Hertfordshire.
Included as separate documents, under separate cover, with this tender brief are:
⢠Annex A - List of objects and paintings requiring new crates, travel frames, or foam-core boxes, as well as de-installation and packing by the transport agent, or rehanging/relocating on site. The transport agent will also be required to provide 7 pallets for the purpose of transporting dressed mannequins, and to secure 4 mannequins to each pallet, with oversight by NAM staff.
⢠Annex B - Total list of all items that the transport agent is required to return to NAM's store at Stevenage.
⢠Annex C - Door widths, lift capacity and access route. To follow
A site visit is strongly recommended.
