Description

CAG requires specialised transport to assist with the movement of certain objects, artworks, archive and library collections with very particular requirements for care. Primarily this will require vehicles operated by trained and experienced personnel, with knowledge of handling cultural objects and artworks. Transport may be within CAG sites, offsite to non-CAG locations or returning from the same. Occasionally this might include international transport/haulage. In some instances, this may include assisting CAG staff or other contractors with this work, in other cases, it may include being supervised by CAG staff while carrying out all aspects of this task. These transport services must include: • Provision of safe transport of works to and from storage, as well as to borrowing lending organisations across Ireland and Internationally, on a case-by-case basis • Specialised handling and securing of artworks during loading and unloading of vehicles • Provision of crates, t-frames, boxes and other packing solutions when required by the CAG • Specialised packing of artworks, cultural objects and antiques Requirements for each work package will be defined on a case-by-case basis, based on the phased schedule for removal of objects and artworks from the CAG building. In some cases, these work packages may include supplying custom-made crates and lifting or moving equipment. They may also include the completion of risk assessments for new working environments and situations, to ensure the Framework supplier staff, CAG staff, general public, collections and non-collection objects are safe before movement takes place. Tenderers must associate themselves with this competition in order to access tender documents, ask and received clarifications and submit tender response. Please note that all submissions must be in a zip file format. Estimated value: €250,000
