Description

The National Army Museum (NAM) wishes to appoint a conservation company or individual conservator ('the conservator') for the conservation of 20 frames as outlined in the attached spreadsheet. Tender submissions are requested from suitably qualified and experienced contractors. It is beneficial, though not essential, for the conservator to hold accredited status (PACR - Professional Accreditation of Conservator-Restorers).

All the works have had recent condition assessments with treatment recommendations and time estimates. The estimates are included within the Annex C spreadsheet. This contract will involve undertaking the conservation of the objects (following discussion and approval of all treatments by the NAM); full documentation, including written reports and photographs, relating to the treatment of each object (sent to the NAM on completion of the project).

This contract is for approx. 110 hours work and is ideally to be carried out either on site in Stevenage or offsite by the conservator at their studio and as such a UKRG security supplement will be required. It is anticipated that the work would start in February 2022 and be completed by the end of March 2022.
