What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionWe have run a procurement process to appoint a showcase contractor to design, manufacture, deliver and install all the showcases for our new fashion gallery (Gallery 40) at V&A South Kensington. For more information on the scope please see the associated Tender Notice.
Please note that the FTS website won't allow us to use an ampersand in the title of the contract, which is why this notice is not titled "V&A Fashion Gallery" like it should be. This is sadly outside of our control.
