Transport and Logistics Single Party Framework

Tender description

NMI requires specialist transport and logistics services to assist with the movement of museum object, archive and library collections and other non-collections objects, such as equipment, supplies, office furniture and so on. Primarily this will involve the movement of collections and non-collection objects from one location to another, sometimes within the same NMI site, between NMI sites, or on and off site. Occasionally this might include international transport/haulage. In some instances, this may include assisting NMI staff in preparing collections or other non-collections objects for transport, through packing, stabilisation, supplying crates, boxes, packing supplies, sometimes custom-made and lifting or moving equipment. It will also include the completion of risk assessments for every new working environment and situation, to ensure the Framework supplier staff, NMI staff, general public, collections and non-collection objects are safe before movement takes place. All framework supplier staff will be supervised by NMI staff when working on site and accompanied by NMI staff when collections are leaving or returning to the NMI.
