Request for information on producing a tender document for the purchase of taxidermy specimens.
The Ulster Museum is currently closed for a major redevelopment (opening 2009). We may have an opportunity to purchase several taxidermy specimens for the new displays. I was wondering if anyone had any recent experience or advice on producing a tender document for this type of purchase.
Many thanks,
Jill
