The new DNA Museum will deliver a world-class attraction and resource to exhibit, explain and explore the rich, unique and fascinating history of Derry Londonderry, Strabane and the wider Foyle basin. The proposal includes the re-use of two Grade B2 listed buildings, set within the historic ‘star fort’ wall of Ebrington Square, on the east bank of the Foyle River. The site itself is historically significant both to the city and arguably the whole of Northern Ireland, with links to the Siege of Derry. The Museum will exhibit collections on the history of the city and district and provide dedicated research facilities for the internationally significant archive, which tells the story of how the city and district has contributed globally to significant historic events. There is the requirement for a qualified artefact mount maker with specialist Museum and Heritage or Visitor Attraction experience and technical knowledge to design, manufacture, deliver, assemble and position all mounts and plinths within the display cases for the DNA Museum project, which meet accredited museum standards in terms of conservation and security. The main area of work is concentrated within the DNA Museum galleries within the former barracks in Ebrington. All objects earmarked for the cases will require new mounts and method of display. While most cases will require fixed mounting at either the base or rear, a small number will call for a more creative approach – such as suspending artefacts, particularly those of special significance, within the display cases. Your submission must be submitted via EtendersNI, via this CFT. No other method of submissions will be accepted. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 92521000 - **Estimated Value:** £48,600 - **Contract Period:** 27/03/2026 to 26/03/2027 ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** T25-025BUS Design, Manufacture and Installation of Mounts for Artefacts and Archives in DNA Museum (active) - Award id: `1` - Supplier(s): **Anna Barclay Designs** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-176358` - Value: £55,907 (inc.
