Title

Provision of Temporary Exhibition Cases - St Fagans

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

The Museum is seeking to procure, through a competitive tendering process, three cases to facilitate the short-term (3 months min; 12 months max) display of objects within the Wales Is gallery at St Fagans National Museum of History. These cases must be installed and an invoice received by Friday 18 March 2022.

Over the course of their usable lifetime, they will be expected to house a wide range of museum objects, including items on loan from other institutions and individuals.

This will ensure that the cases are be capable of maintaining any other display environment required by a loaning institution with ease, by adjusting the type, quantity and conditioning of the silica gel used.
