Description
The university is seeking to appoint a partner to deliver a valuation of the full art collection of the Sainsbury Centre. This valuation must meet the standards of our external financial auditors and the results must be completed and reported to the university by 30th June 2026. The Sainsbury Centre will support and coordinate onsite access to artworks, working with appointed supplier in advance to ensure this process is efficient for both parties.
For absolute clarity, the University is not undertaking a valuation with a view to selling pieces of the collection as part of this process.
