Summary of the contracting process

Royal Navy Museums sought a single contractor to provide waste collection and disposal services for the HMS Victory Conservation Project at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. The work concerns waste generated by conserving HMS Victory, rather than routine office or catering waste. Services include managing project waste safely, lawfully and sustainably; complying with environmental and waste-management legislation; and handling, containing and disposing of hazardous materials, including lead-contaminated waste. The requirement is intended to support the conservation of the historic vessel and its continued use as a visitor attraction and commissioned warship. This is a waste-management services contract, classified under CPV 90500000, delivered in Portsmouth, United Kingdom.

The procurement reached tender: Royal Navy Museums invited offers through an open procedure, with submissions directed by email. The procurement was subsequently cancelled. The enquiry deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period was 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2031. The estimated value was £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT. There was one lot. Evaluation weighted organisational capability at 25%, delivery approach at 15%, teamwork and collaboration at 35%, compliance reporting and innovation at 20%, and sustainability at 5%. Economic and technical selection criteria were set out in the ITT. Optional pricing for larger skips was permitted.

This opportunity suited established waste-management contractors able to provide lawful, sustainable collection and disposal across a conservation project, including safe handling and containment of hazardous and lead-contaminated waste. Suppliers needed the organisational capability, delivery planning, teamwork and collaboration skills to work effectively alongside the HMS Victory project team. Strong compliance reporting, innovation and sustainability practices were important because these areas formed part of the evaluation. The requirement also suited businesses able to manage changing volumes and provide different waste-container options, including larger roll-on/roll-off skips for bulk waste. Contractors needed sufficient operational capacity, regulatory knowledge and experience to meet performance requirements and manage project-generated waste safely. The award was cancelled after the sole bidder could not fulfil the full requirement.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Waste Collection Services for HMS Victory Project

Notice Description

The Royal Navy Museums ("RNM") is leading a sector leading project to conserve HMS Victory, ensuring the long-term preservation of this world-class historic vessel. In addition to being the only surviving exemplar of a Royal Navy capital warship from the Age of Sail, HMS Victory continues to be a significant visitor attraction within the setting of No. 2 Dock and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard whilst continuing to serve as a commissioned warship and the Flagship of the First Sea Lord. The aim of the HMS Victory Conservation Project ("HMS Victory: The Big Repair") 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. To support in this endeavour, the RNM is seeking to appoint a single contractor to deliver waste collection and disposal services. The appointed contractor will ensure that all project generated waste is managed safely and disposed of lawfully, sustainably and in full compliance with appropriate regulations. This requirement relates specifically to waste generated as part of the conservation project and excludes routine operational waste streams, such as general office or catering waste. The scope will cover key areas: a. Ensuring compliance with environmental and waste management legislation b. Supporting the safe handling, containment and disposal of hazardous materials, including lead-contaminated waste c. Enabling the effective delivery of the HMS Victory Conservation Project

Lot Information

Lot 1

Options: There should be optional costs provided for larger skips to accommodate additional bulk waste requirements for the HMSV Project. For example, a 15.3m3 roll on/roll off skip has previously been required. If you are able to provide a full catalogue or portfolio of bags and skips available beyond these specific requirements, these may be included as a supplement to your submission pack for future consideration. The provision of optional pricing is not mandatory and will not impact scored evaluation.
