II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Authority is seeking a supplier to store its heritage objects. The requirement is for a minimum of 3,300 square metres of fit for purpose, non-shared floor space within a secure, object storage facility located within 2 hours travel via public transport of Westminster, UK. This will be for an initial term of 5 years with the option for the Authority to extend for a period of up to 5 years in 1 year extensions.<br/><br/>The facility must have space and accommodation for Parliamentary staff to work within the dedicated storage space. The facility must be fit for the purpose of storing heritage objects within climate-controlled spaces and have an ancillary space for use as a conservation studio. It needs to provide industry-standard, object storage systems (at 3.5m high) with good floor loading (at 5kN/m2 or above) to enable the efficient storage of different object media. This is likely to necessitate storage on ground floor slab for Architectural Fabric Collection (AFC) objects due to the requirement to move objects via forklift. The Contract will also require transport in GIS-compliant, secure, temperature-controlled vehicles with air-ride suspension, and a regular porterage service up to three times per week with a team of 4-6 technicians.
