Description

The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) is leading on the conservation of HMS Victory to ensure the long-term preservation of this world-class historic vessel and exemplar of a Royal Navy capital warship from the Age of Sail.

The aim of the HMS Victory Conservation Project is to deliver a fully-conserved ship, able to survive in an open environment for the next 50 years without major work beyond a programme of planned maintenance. Conservation works began in early 2022. The project scope includes the replacement of all external planking and some internal elements and the progressive re-rigging of the ship.

The NMRN is now looking for a five (5) year call-off contract with a laboratory to undertake testing of candidate materials for use in the rigging of the ship. Full Specification can be found in the ITT document in Annex A.

All clarification questions should be sent to tenders@nmrn.org.uk for response.
