## About this tender

Tate requires contractors to provide for the packing, handling, and safe movement of exhibition loans from private and institutional lenders from within the UK and abroad to some, or all of Tate's sites and to other venues in the UK and abroad (in the case of touring exhibitions) and to provide for the packing, handling, and safe movement of Tate Collection works from Tate sites to other venues in the UK and abroad (in the case of International Programme tours).

Contractors will be responsible for collection from the lender to delivery back to the lender at the end of the exhibition/exhibition tour. These services will require contractors who are skilled and have experience of dealing with the coordination, control, and management of the packing and transport of exhibitions comprising high value, delicate and environmentally sensitive works of art in a variety of media and from a wide range of source.
