Lot 1: Dublin City Council wishes to invite tenders to establish a 2-year single party framework agreement for provision of Fine Art Insurance Services for The Hugh Lane Gallery. The initial contract will be awarded for a period of two (2) years. The framework will be used to meet the Gallery’s fine art insurance requirements which includes the basic annual insurance of the collection, as well as any exceptional cover that may arise during the lifetime of the framework. For the avoidance of all doubt, the maximum framework agreement term is 2 years, however contracts may be awarded which extend beyond the lifetime of the framework. It is emphasised that a framework agreement constitutes no guarantee to purchase a specific quantity of services from a particular economic operator. Indeed, Dublin City Council reserves the right to operate outside of the framework agreement at its discretion, particularly should it become apparent that doing so would offer greater value for money. The initial contract is for the provision of Fine Arts Insurances Services for the Hugh Lane Gallery for the period 1 June 2021 to 31 May 2023 (both days included). Further contracts may be awarded for exceptional cover during the lifetime of this framework.
