Description

As part of the conservation project of HMS Victory, NMRN requires the stonework of No. 2 Dock to be repaired, outside of the Phase 1 work area (see Appendix 1). The NMRN are currently progressing works on HMS Victory and large conservation scaffold has been erected over Victory's midships, with Scheduled Monument Consent, granted by Historic England in October 2020.

The NMRN lease the dock, in which to hold HMS Victory and are responsible for the care of the dock. No. 2 Dock forms part of the Portsmouth Dockyard Scheduled Monument (NHLE no. 1001852). The dock is also part of the group of Docks 1 to 6 (consecutive), Grade I Listed (NHLE no.1272267). Therefore, the dock is statutorily protected and no works are permitted to commence until a specific Scheduled Monument Consent is granted.

The dock was constructed between 1799-1801 to the designs of Samuel Bentham, largely constructed of course Purbeck limestone ashlar blocks, with fine Portland limestone ashlar blocks used in locations around the north end of the dock. Further details of the design can be found within the ITT in the Scope of Requirement on Page 30.

The main objective is to achieve the repairs to the dock stonework within the specified areas, that will be sympathetic to the existing stonework and will be durable enough to last within a seaside environment.

The total price should be given in the tender cost breakdown, to be costed against the Specifications in Appendices 3 and 4, but only for the two areas outside of the Phase 1 Work Area (see Appendix 1), plus a percentage of contingency to cover any change since it was written in 2021.

The repairs should be like for like stone where possible. NMRN holds a small amount of stone purchased in 2019, but more stone will have to be ordered. The costs for the stone order should be priced separately within the tender cost breakdown. Full price information and details can be found within the ITT documentation under Specification/Scope of Requirement.

Reference documents are to be requested by registering interest via tenders@nmrn.org.uk quoting this tender name.

Site Visits are encouraged for this tender which are to be held 14th - 18th November 2022. Site Visits may be booked via Rosemary.Thornber@NMRN.org.uk and should give at least two working days to make arrangements.
