Global Gallery Mannequin Tender

Description

The National Army Museum is representing its permanent galleries. Our new Global Role Gallery (formally Army) will open to the public 31st May 2022. The representation includes some new display cases and reconfiguration of existing displays. The National Army Museum (NAM) wishes to appoint a suitably experienced mannequin supplier to manufacture mannequins and deliver them to our Stevenage collections site. The mannequins will be dressed by our own textile conservator, however the tenderers should account for the following in their pricing: • Attendance at our Stevenage site to measure all the uniform items prior to manufacture of the mannequins. • Attendance at our Stevenage site after manufacture of the mannequins to check that they fit the uniforms properly, including ensuring that any support poles fit the mannequins correctly. • Delivery of all the mannequins to the Stevenage site 1 month prior to installation as per the schedule. • Supply of all the new poles, fixings and supports for the mannequins to be supported within the cases. All supports and fixings should be adjustable. Most mannequins will be supported by poles that sit on base plates or spigots. The base plates must not exceed the size shown on the plan elevations of the display case layouts. • The Museum requires the "grey" finish to match the grey used on our existing mannequins in that gallery. All materials and paints used must be oddy test approved. Please quote in conjunction with the Schedule of Mannequins and supports detailed in Annex A which should also be used for pricing, and the completed case layouts, which are supplied under separate cover.
