The storage strategy underpinning this tender is to increase the capacity for paintings storage in the existing LR art store and centralise the painting collection to one location (the art store at LR). To facilitate this roller racking for storing solander boxes will be relocated to DX. This supports a wider storage project that will reduce the storage footprint at LR and centralise storage at DX to enable an increase in the public gallery offer at LR. The wider storage project involves an investment of £6.9 million to make (80%) of our collections storage fit for purpose in the next three years. The project relocates 90% of collection storage to DX and 10% (painting collection) of storage remains at LR. The main aims of the project are: - Care of the collection - Long term care and sustainability of the heritage buildings, landscape and infrastructure - Affordable, efficient and sustainable investment of public money Additional information: Please follow instructions contained within the ITT letter to arrange a site visit, submit any questions and submit your tender by the return date of 9 January ## CPV classification Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/f401e713-77ff-47b9-ad82-15e24572b59d) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
