Description

The National Army Museum wishes to appoint a suitably experienced and qualified graphics company to print and install the graphic elements of a new permanent gallery entitled Army at Home. This exciting new gallery at the National Army Museum, Chelsea, explores the work of the British Army on home shores and the Army's role in forging a united nation. It opens to the public on 19th September 2023, but is required to be completed by the 12th Septemberfor press and event previews.

The graphics remit comprises object labels, text panels and a small amount of large scale wallpaper imagery. It also includes facsimiles of some paper items which need to resemble the original items as closely as possible, provision of samples and installation on site. Facsimiles should be on a matt surface with a cartridge paper quality and we look forward to suggestions on how best to replicate these. A complete schedule of all elements and materials can be found at Annex A Graphics Schedule, under separate cover. There will be an element of working at height required to install the large scale wallpaper imagery and the contractor should ensure a "safe system of work" is in place and the cost of any specialist equipment hire is included in the tender.
