Following the successful completion of capital works as part of Courtauld Connects Phase I in 2021, The Courtauld is preparing for the second phase of works (Phase II), which are anticipated to begin in 2026. In order to prepare for this, The Courtauld's photographic collections, and some book collections need to be removed from Somerset House and sent to off-site storage. Working to the current timescales, the collections need to be removed from Somerset House in 2025 and stored off-site for a period of 3-5 years. Some of the photographic collections, and book collections will then be returned to the new library within The Courtauld at Somerset House, although others, including photographic collections which have been digitised, will remain in storage for an indefinite period. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs).
