The brief

Bidders are asked to submit a formal tender for the "Terracotta Warriors Exhibition Graphics".

We require a contractor to produce and install a series of high quality exhibition graphics in varying formats for this high profile exhibition.

This includes lightboxes, fabric banners, vinyl lettering, Perspex labels, 3d lettering and duratrans.

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 Shi Huangdi.

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.
