Description

The Horniman Museum and Gardens is planning a major redevelopment of parts of its Gardens and its Natural History Gallery, to be completed by early 2026. As part of the Nature + Love project, the possibility of refurbishing the historic showcases in the Natural History Gallery is being explored. This is to improve their Airtightness (AER), Relative Humidity control, Security, Lighting and general suitability for artefact display. A trial refurbishment is required to understand the suitability of the proposed interventions,
and to provide data on environmental improvements. The AER test will be carried out following the completion of the refurbishment works, with monitors installed and readings taken by English Heritage and arranged by the Horniman directly.
The Horniman Museum and Gardens is inviting tenders from appropriately qualified, experienced and resourced companies that will provide the following services under one
contract:
• Survey (including Asbestos Survey)
• Costed and Finalised Methodology
• Historic Showcase Trial Refurbishment Report detailing lessons learnt
We expect the successful tender to work closely with the Horniman Estates Team, Architectural Design Team, Exhibition Design Team and Project Manager in order to deliver the trial refurbishment.
The cases in the gallery are covered by the building Grade 2* listed status.
The Natural History Gallery is open to the public, therefore the Contractor should allow for site set up and noisy works to take place outside of public opening hours.
Please refer to the Horniman's rules for visiting contractors and site logistics information
set out in Appendix D.
The Contractor will be required to provide hoarding and protection to the floor and surrounding cases, with proposals to be agreed by the Horniman in advance of works being carried out.
Tenders must be submitted by no later than 12noon, 9th December 2022. The tender is to be submitted via email to Fiona Smallcorn, Administrator, Focus Consultants on
administration@focus-consultants.com
During the tender period, should the tenderer wish to present questions or seek clarification on any information contained within this pack, requests will only be
considered up to 28th November 2022 via email to Fiona Smallcorn, Administrator, Focus Consultants on administration@focus-consultants.com .
The judging panel will be made up of key members of the Horniman Museum and Gardens, Design Team and Focus Consultants.
Further details can be found in the invitation to tender.
