Notice Title

GB-London: Historic Ship Research

Notice Description

NOTE: This notice was updated on 22 August 2023 for the following reason: The link to Delta e-sourcing in the original advert is not working please use this access code 777BN55P3F to get access to the ITT - all documents and tender returns must be done through the delta e-tendering portal. Any issues please contact the delta helpdesk.(Heritage across the UK faces a wide range of challenges over the coming years, which we have explored in detail during the development of our new National Lottery Heritage Fund strategy, 'Heritage 2033'. Our new strategy responds to these through the 'saving heritage' investment principle and the strategic intervention around heritage in need. It has become clear since the strategy consultation process, however, that historic ships face a combination of issues which mean vessels of genuine historical significance are in danger of significant damage or loss. The Heritage Fund is therefore seeking a consultant to research and develop evidence regarding the current overall need for investment in the historic ships of the UK and to support the development of a framework to help prioritise investment in historic ships by the NHMF. The work will help identify the relative historical importance of applications from the National Historic Fleet and assess the real cost of ongoing maintenance for historic ships. The research will also help shape future strategic interventions for the Heritage Fund in terms of supporting the historic ships sector.) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. The date and time provided at item 10 Deadline for Expressions of Interest - is the date and time for the receipt of Tenders.
