Description

PLEASE NOTE THIS NOTICE IS TO PUBLICISE THE AWARD OF A CONTRACT AND IS NOT A NEW OPPORTUNITY CALLING FOR BIDDERS.

In spring 2017, the museum will complete The Exhibition Road Building Project (ERB), which will deliver a new courtyard, entrance, café, shop and, most significantly, a state of the art temporary exhibition gallery (the Sainsbury Gallery) to host the V&A's world-renowned programme of blockbuster exhibitions. A driving ambition for this project is a reduction in the cost, time and environmental impact involved in staging temporary exhibitions. In order to achieve this, the museum will be procuring a suite of demountable cases to be used for displaying loan and collection objects. In addition to this, the museum will require an associated storage system for use during shows that do not require the full suite.

The initial procurement will comprise a suite of 17 cases, of two types, and the storage system, with the option to procure further cases over a period of five years following contract agreement (please refer to details in Volume 3). This is to allow review of function and requirements, and to include possible procurement for V&A Dundee, due to open Summer 2018. In order to evaluate the company's ability to fulfil the contract, shortlisted tenderers will be required to transport an example demountable case (not a prototype) to the V&A South Kensington and demonstrate its assembly and functions.
