Description

The Soldier Gallery is the most popular permanent gallery at the National Army Museum. The gallery explores the experiences of soldiers and what it is like to join the Army and serve. NAM wishes to commission a new Section 5 high security display case to house 3 mannequins that will be wearing uniforms from the Museum's collections. As we may include firearms in the future, the display case needs to comply with Home Office Section 5 high security guidelines.

The new display case should visually match the existing display cases in the Soldier Gallery but include all the elements outlined in the specification Annex G. The extent of the works includes design and supply of the case, installation on site, training and maintenance manual provision. We are looking for preferably an 'off the peg' design that can be powder coated to match the RAL colour of existing showcases in the gallery, which is RAL 7022 The case forms a permanent display at the heart of the Museum and requires longevity, so the warranty period should be stated in the tender.
