two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The V&A wishes to enter into a non-exclusive framework agreement with experienced suppliers offering professional services for Project Management and/or Cost Consultancy and/or CDM Co-ordination for the development and delivery of temporary exhibitions in publicly funded museums and galleries.
The Project Managers are required to oversee the design process, in line with the RIBA Plan of Work, to act as the Contract Administrator for appointed temporary fit-out contractors and to deliver exhibitions to deadline and to budget. The cost consultants are required to manage the Cost Plan. The Principal Designers are required to perform all functions and duties as defined by the Construction (Design and Management) CDM Regulations 2015.
Temporary exhibitions in publicly funded museums and galleries are designed by externally appointed or in-house design teams (including 3D, graphics, audio-visual and lighting design). The content of temporary exhibitions includes fine art, objects and audio-visual material drawn from museum collections and/or borrowed from institutional and/or private lenders. The nature of temporary exhibitions are that they move very quickly, with a design and build programme typically running for just 12 months. On-site build periods range from 2 weeks to 2 months, and are followed by an object installation period, running from 1 week to 1 month. Suppliers are required to have extensive experience and expertise in this specialist field.
Previously, we have received tender returns from large firms specialising in capital projects. This Framework requires extensive experience of temporary exhibition project management and cost planning.
