What the notice says

IWM is seeking suitably qualified and experienced contractors to undertake the strip-out of an existing exhibition and the installation of a new exhibition within the AirSpace building at IWM Duxford. The works will be carried out on the mezzanine level overlooking a large hangar space, requiring careful coordination, adherence to safety standards, and consideration of the operational environment. This tender invites bidders with demonstrable expertise in exhibition fit out, deinstallation, and working within complex indoor structures to deliver the project to a high standard and within the specified timeframe. The scope of works covers the full removal of the existing exhibition within the AirSpace mezzanine level and the complete installation of a new exhibition in accordance with the design information provided by IWM. The contractor will be responsible for carrying out all works in a controlled and phased manner to ensure safe operation within the wider hangar environment, which will remain active during the project. Please note that early engagement with the site visit requirement is crucial as only the pre-scheduled site visit offered on the 6th May can be accommodated, and potential providers are required to register their intent to attend by midday on 01 May.
