About

Imperial War Museums is seeking suppliers for a Collections Care Framework to provide conservation services. The procurement is currently at the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) stage, with shortlisted providers invited to submit full tender responses. The framework is split into three Lots: Lot 1 – Art Conservation (paintings, paper, objects/wooden objects and frames); Lot 2 – Textiles; and Lot 3 – Collections Care Work, including condition surveys and reporting. Potential providers may bid for one or more Lots. IWM is advertising a two-year framework agreement with an option to extend for a further one year, and the advertised value of each Lot anticipates that IWM will choose to use the extension.
