Description
HMS Victory Timber Supply Framework ITT Overview Over the next 12 years, the National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) are leading the conservation of HMS Victory to ensure the long-term preservation of a world-class historic vessel and an exemplar of a Royal Navy capital warship from the Age of Sail. In addition to being a unique historic asset, HMS Victory continues to be a significant visitor attraction within Portsmouth Historic Dockyard whilst continuing to serve as a commissioned warship of the Royal Navy. The conservation work includes the replacement of all external and some internal planking in a staged programme; it is intended that the ship remains open to the public throughout the planned work. The work will be carried out inside an encapsulated conservation scaffold which will allow the NMRN's Shipwrights to remove and replace the hull planks. Core to the programme is the procurement of Timber, primarily Oak, to meet the planned Hull Conservation programme.

Other Information
In addition to planking, additional solid 'curved' timber will be needed to replace items such as knees and beams (compass timber), and the timber supplier(s) will be invited to work with the NMRN to source and produce such items. The NMRN have been engaged in dialogue with suppliers in the timber market prior to this tender notice, with a Market Engagement Day and one-to-one dialogue meetings. These sessions have been vital to engage with a collaborative approach with suppliers to meet the specifications required for the supply of timber for HMS Victory. Tenderers will be invited to submit their tender response for a Framework Agreement for initial 4 years (full details can be found in Annex C) based on three separate Lots, this can be done for individual lots or all lots. Notice for Suppliers- Please refer to Annex A Scope of Requirement and Annex F for detail of the breakdown of the timber specification, including the planking schedule. The price for this tender of £3,000,000 is the provisional budget for the first two years of this project, based on (at the time) market prices from dialogue with suppliers during the PIN Notice period. The contract length of 5 years is the length of the Framework Agreement. UPDATE 16/08/2022- Clarifications Deadline extended until 5pm, 9th September 2022 If you have any questions please contact tenders@nmrn.org.uk. These will form part of the clarification period and will be answered together so all suppliers can see the same question and answers.
