Legal Justification

Its a Single Tender Action - PCR 2015 Henry Moore is recognised as one of the leading artists of the 20th century and has been exhibited heavily in the UK and internationally for over 70 years. Moore's works are instantly recognisable for their scale, materiality and subject matter. Nature as inspiration and the connectedness between his works & the landscape are significant themes in Moore's works, which support Kew's over-arching mission to protect the natural world. Henry Moore Foundation holds the IP of all works that will be exhibited at RBG Kew, and as such, is the only possible supplier. The contract value includes: cost of loaning 30 works to Kew and renovation/restoration of works. As a heavily collected and commercialised artist, working with Henry Moore Foundation will also bring back financial benefit to RBG Kew through retail and publishing sales,
