## Summary

Portsmouth City Council is conducting a tender process for the "Transforming the D-Day Museum - Large Objects Conservation Specialist" project, which is focused on conservation services for military objects. The procurement is classified under the CPV code for military vehicles and associated parts, with the tender stage currently complete, having ended on 6th September 2017. The contract period is set from 15th September 2017 to 30th June 2018.
