Summary of the contracting process

The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) has led the timber supply framework for the conservation of HMS Victory, a historic Royal Navy warship. The project encompasses a 12-year conservation programme focused on the ship's long-term preservation while maintaining its status as a visitor attraction at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. The project is worth £3,000,000 for the initial two years, with an overall contract length of five years. The procurement process, which used an open procedure, is now at the award stage, having started on 28th November 2022 and running until 26th November 2027. Suppliers include Hewins Timber Limited, W.L. West & Sons Limited, and Border Hardwood Limited, all SMEs. The requirement is mainly for oak timber to facilitate the replacement of the ship’s external and some internal planking, with public access maintained throughout the work. Key procurement details include the CPV code 03419000 (Timber) and a focus on the South East region, United Kingdom.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in timber supply, particularly those specialising in oak and shaped timber, such as compass timber for structural components. SMEs are particularly encouraged to compete, as evidenced by the inclusion of multiple SME suppliers in the awarded contracts. Participating in this high-profile project not only provides immediate business growth but also enhances the supplier's profile by associating with a prestigious historical conservation effort. The cooperative nature of the procurement process, involving market engagement and dialogue sessions, ensures suppliers can meet the detailed specifications effectively. Businesses involved in heritage conservation, timber production, and speciality timber shaping would find this tender well-suited to their capabilities and growth objectives.

Notice Title

HMS Victory Timber Supply Framework ITT

Notice 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. 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 PS3,000,000 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 Additional information: 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.
