What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Authority was looking to lease 3,300 square metres of non-shared floor space, within a secure, object storage facility. This was to be for an initial term of 5 years with the optional ability to extend for a period of up to 5 years in 1-year extensions.<br/><br/>The facility should be located within 2 hours travel via public transport of Westminster and allow Parliamentary staff to work within the dedicated spaces. The facility must have been fit for the purpose of storing heritage objects within climate-controlled spaces and have an ancillary space for use as a conservation studio. It needed 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 was likely to necessitate storage on ground floor slab for Architectural Fabric Collection (AFC) objects due to the requirement to move objects via forklift.
