What the buyer is looking for
The Contracting Authority is setting up a panel or DPS of suppliers to supply materials needs for the conservation, archiving, transport and storage of museum collections. The Contracting Authority do not expect any one supplier to be able to provide the full range of materials needed for this, and hope to reflect the diverse needs of museum, library and archive collections through a DPS of suppliers with various skills and specialities. On this DPS, the Contracting Authority invites suppliers who offers a wide range of packing, wrapping, storage, stabilisation and transport materials to conservation and archival standard. This material is for all aspects of museum collections care and management, include all object, artefact, specimen, archive and library collections.
