Bidders are asked to submit a formal tender for the "NML Terracotta Warriors Set Works"

The exhibition will be held in the William Brown Room and the Lower Horse Shoe Gallery at World Museum in Liverpool. The gallery space is approximately 1000sqm.

We require joinery set works to be constructed and installed throughout the exhibition space including wall and ceiling structures, dividing screens and plinths. The walling will house display cases and air ventilation units provided by different contractors.

We are staging a major exhibition at World Museum from February to October 2018 which will showcase national treasures from the tomb of China's First Emperor, Qin Shihuangdi. This is the first time in more than 30 years that such an exhibition has been brought to a museum in the UK outside London.

Visitors will be given a glimpse into the extraordinary story of Qin Shihuangdi, the First Emperor of China (221 to 210 BC). Fragments of clay from his vast burial site were unearthed near Xi'an in North West China in 1974 and subsequently led to the discovery of the now famous terracotta warriors. The Emperor's terracotta warriors will be shown alongside other spectacular artefacts dating from the 6th century BC to the 3nd century AD, along with remarkable new archaeological discoveries. They shed light on the pursuit of immortality and preparations for the afterlife amongst ruling families but also help us to understand more about the imperial court and everyday life in Ancient China.

The exhibition will be a major tourist attraction during Liverpool's 2018 celebrations, marking 10 years since the city held the title of European Capital of Culture in 2008
