National Army Museum - Building for the Future - Mount Making

Tender description

The National Army Museum (NAM) is undergoing a substantial redevelopment through the Building for the Future project. As part of this, five new galleries will be created plus an introductory area and various display opportunities throughout the building. NAM is therefore inviting tenders from Mount Making Contractors to carry out the design, creation and installation of the mounts required as part of the redevelopment. We note that the mannequins and 'big and heavy' object mounts are being procured separately. Please see the Tender Documents for more information. The Mount Making Contractor must be able to demonstrate recent experience in design, production and installation of Mounts in Museum or similar environments. The Mount Making Contractor will need to be able to share the NAM and the Design Team's vision which will transform the spaces into ideal locations to display a diverse range of NAM's collections combining sensitivity to the building and the collections with an imaginative, sustainable, collaborative and transformative approach. The Exhibition Designer for the project is Event Communications and the Project Manager and Quantity Surveyor is Focus Consultants. The new National Army Museum is due to open towards the end of 2016 and therefore all Mounts must be completed and installed by Autumn 2016. There will need to be careful coordination with the exhibition fit out contractor, the Hub.
