## Summary

The National Maritime Museum in London is currently conducting a tender for the conservation refurbishment of the Octagon Room at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. This project involves various restoration activities, including new flooring, damp repairs, repointing, and gilding, with a total estimated value of £500,000. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 1st July 2021, and the contract expected to commence on 11th October 2021, lasting until 17th December 2021. The classification for this project falls under construction work for art and cultural buildings.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that possess substantial experience in heritage conservation and building restoration. Given the historical importance and listed status of the location, businesses specialising in this field will be particularly well-suited to compete. Contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in working on similar projects in order to align with the standards required by the National Maritime Museum.

## Notice

The room (and both staircases leading to it) require new flooring, damp repairs, repointing, brass polishing, underfloor electrical installations, new wall wooden panelling, some ceiling cornice gold-leaf gilding and redecoration. Further details are given within the Tender documents attached. 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. All buildings within the Royal Museums Greenwich portfolio are of historical interest and Listed. Flamsteed House, with the Octagon Room, is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Therefore any contractor working on these buildings must have significant direct experience in this field.
