This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

A full valuation exercise of the entire museum collections was conducted in 2012/13.

Our insurers require that valuations are updated every 3-4 years and so an update is now due.

Update to museum collections valuations for insurance purposes.

Collections include: • Fine Art including oil paintings, watercolours, sculpture and prints including the German Expressionist collection. • Decorative and World Arts comprising furniture, European and Oriental ceramics, jewellery, costume and textiles, glass, silver and craft items. • Social History including the Regimental collection of medals, silver and other ephemera. • Technology including beam engines, road vehicles, typewriters and radios. • Antiquities including coins, clocks and Egyptology. • Archaeology including Roman pottery and mosaics. • Natural Sciences including geology and taxidermy.

We need individual valuations for every item worth £10,000 or more and bulk valuations by type for everything else.

The collections were valued in 2012/13 and so this should mostly be a desk-based exercise to go through those valuations and update them, plus add on any items that now come into the £10,000+ bracket.

At present, there are approx.

700 items individually listed, of which nearly 500 are Fine Art.

Two areas that need assessing from scratch are a collection of jewellery and the oriental ceramics.
