What the buyer wants

Imperial War Museums (IWM) is inviting Potential Providers to participate in the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) stage for a Collections Care Framework for the provision of conservation services. Potential Providers shortlisted following the PSQ stage will be invited to submit a full tender response.

The framework will be divided into three Lots, reflecting the distinct conservation services required by IWM:

• Lot 1 – Art Conservation, including paintings, paper, objects/wooden objects and frames

• Lot 2 – Textiles

• Lot 3 – Collections Care Work, including condition surveys and reporting

Potential Providers may bid to provide services for one or more Lots.

At this stage, IWM is undertaking the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) stage only. Tender documents and subsequent stages of the procurement process will be issued to shortlisted Potential Providers in accordance with the procurement timetable published in the Information & Instructions document.

IWM is advertising a two-year framework agreement, with the option to extend by a further one-year period. Please note that the advertised value of each Lot anticipates that IWM will choose to use the extension.

How Tenderoo reads it

This is a framework agreement: a place on it puts you on the buyer's approved list, which they call work off from over the term. It is not a single job, and a small firm can hold a place alongside national suppliers.
