Description

This PIN is intended to alert the market to an upcoming opportunity to tender for the Tate Galleries Transport Framework Agreement (TFA). The TFA is a framework agreement which provides for the for the packing, handling and safe movement of exhibition loans from private and institutional lenders from within the UK and abroad to some, or all of Tate's sites and to other venues in the UK and abroad (in the case of touring exhibitions). Contractors will be responsible for collection from the lender to delivery back to the lender at the end of the exhibition/exhibition tour. These services will require contractors who are skilled and have experience of dealing with the coordination, control, and management of the packing and transport of exhibitions comprising high value, delicate and environmentally sensitive works of art in a variety of media and from a wide range of source. Tate expects to appoint specialised transport agents to the Framework Agreement who will demonstrate they have sufficient expertise in handling, packing and transporting works of art of various media, size and weight, in the UK and abroad. The framework itself will establish overarching terms and conditions, and business will be awarded under the framework through a series of mini-competitions which will be run by Tate employees underneath the different lots for separate pieces of work, which range from UK movements of artwork through to multi-national, multi-venue movements. All appointed suppliers will have to demonstrate that meet the conditions of the Government Indemnity Scheme https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/protecting-cultural-objects/government-indemnity-...
