## Description
The British Museum wishes to establish a non-exclusive, non-binding Framework Agreement for the provision of Collection Storage Furniture with a number of Contractors. The Framework will be the primary route by which the British Museum will procure collection storage furniture across its estate for a period of four years. A complete end-to-end service is required including design, manufacture, installation and initial maintenance support. The Framework will be used to appoint a Contractor, or Contractors, to fit out the British Museum Archaeological Research Collection (BM_ARC) facility when its construction has been completed. The BM_ARC will contain collection storage rooms with an approximate total floor area of 9,250 square meters.
