The brief

National Museums Liverpool (NML) is inviting tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors to enter into a multi-provider framework agreement to undertake Graphic Production and Installation across our exhibition galleries and venues.

NML typically produce 18-22 Exhibitions and Displays across its 7 venues per year with at least 5 of those being considering large-scale.

We also have several permanent galleries which require maintaining to a high level.

We would be expecting contractors to be producing graphics including but not limited to large-scale printed wallpaper, graphic panels on substrates, printed and cut vinyl, labels, recyclable/sustainable signage, and screen printing.

The requirements of each call-off contract will contain varying scope depending on the design and exhibition venue.
