GB-Derby: Interpetation Panels & Bookcase for the Marble Hall

The aim of this project is to design, build and fit the following art deco influenced interpretation panels for the iconic Grade ll Listed building, known as Marble Hall. The interpretation panels will be located in the following areas: •1 freestanding panel in reception adjacent to the staircase on the right hand side.

•1 freestanding panel in reception in the raised niche which incorporates bookcase shelves to hold a maximum 40 books.

•1 panel wall mounted in the café

•1 freestanding panel in the Boardroom

•A series of wall mounted panels depicting the time line of Rolls-Royce on the wall at the top of the galleried staircase.

It is preferred that the freestanding interpretation panels will be made from a hardwood and/or metal (brass or bronze) in keeping with Marble Hall's interior fixings. The freestanding panels will need to be 'moveable' in design and function. The wall mounted panel in the café will have a hardwood frame which is similar in design to the freestanding panels. Again it is preferred that the time line panels will be made from hardwood and/or metals in keeping with Marble Hall's interior. All interpretation panels including the time line will be co-ordinated in design and we are looking for a creative approach to the work. This scheme would suit applied or graphic artists with experience in creative interpretive design.

Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
