Description

The V&A South Kensington is seeking to appoint a Showcase Contractor to design, manufacture, deliver and install all the showcases to the new fashion gallery. Please refer to all the documents issued with this tender which give design intent, specifications (including lighting), dimensions, quantities and requirements. It is expected that the Showcase Contractor will actively contribute to the final design specifications, with particular attention (but not limited to) to minimal framing, gaskets, showcase access, support of AV equipment, conservation, structural stability, economy of production, value engineering, materials and finishes. It is also expected the Showcase Contractor will liaise closely throughout the process with the Consultant Design Team, the V&A Project Team and the Main Contractor. The overall aim of this project is to redesign and fit out the permanent fashion gallery, reclaiming display space by removing the current mezzanine, temporary exhibition area, and shop. This will provide opportunities to enhance the presentation of the collection and provide better access to our collections for our visitors' enjoyment and study. The project will restore the architectural splendour of the iconic Octagon Gallery, transforming it into a world-class venue for housing our fashion collections and staging associated programming.
