Notice Title

Historic Paint Analysis (interior decoration) at Castell Coch

Notice Description

Award of a contract for the paint analysis of all interior decoration at Castell Coch in preparation for a larger conservation contract. A direct award is being made as the supplier noted in this notice has previously carried out a smaller analysis project which included developing a methodology for this work.
